Hi all
Following problems occurs frequently around our environment: When
a linux system "crash" with panic, some parts of cache files of the
arla seems to be destroyed. After this crash, arla does not work
correctly even rebooting the system. Access to the specific files on
/afs tree, which are related to the broken cache files, has problem.
This problem seems to be easily resolved by inserting a command
to clean the arla cache files in the startup script (file: startarla)
Following is a suggested patch for this problem for file "startarla".
How about implementing this patch in the next release ?
