We're continuing to see cache corruption problems in AFS on the AIX
platform here. The symptom seems to be that at random intervals
we see files that are corrupted on the AIX clients. This seems to
happen reliably a couple of times a day. The files that are
corrupted are almost always big .a files. They eventually
uncorrupt themselves, and attempts to manually uncorrupt them by
flushing the volume or file usually fail. Transarc seems to
be stumped by this. They wanted to know if anyone else is seeing
this behavior or if it's just us.
