Dear arla-drinkers,
I think I've finally narrowed things down to a setup that will reproducibly hang
a Linux SMP box running arla. I'm running Linux-2.1.117, arla 0.9 on a dual
Dell PII. I am also running as an NFS client. If I tar a directory tree from
AFS to the NFS mounted disk and interrupt it, the machine hangs and has to be
rebooted. This same procedure seems to work without problems on a UP machine.
The last entries in the xfs log look like:
xfs_message_rpc opcode this_process->error_or_size = -4
xfs_message_rpc opcode ((xfs_message_wakeup*)(this_process->message))->error =
1349
I repeated the experiment after installing the lastest Alan Cox NFS-related
patches I'm aware of, but the behavior remained the same. Any help would be
appreciated.
Dave
