Arla 0.22, linux 2.2, glibc2.1, redhat5.2.
Hi. When the cache is full Arla doesn't seem to want to discard old
junk to make room for new junk, and almost everything either hang
(presumably waiting for Arla to fetch it) or return ENOSPC.
This happens after 1-2 weeks or so. I can't reproduce it in a newly
restarted arla -- everything works even when the cache is full, as
expected.
OTOH it's quite reproducable otherwise, just put the machine in a
corner for a week or two (running some cron jobs daily which access
AFS quite heavily), and you'll get ENOSPC from lots of syscalls.
Feels like the cache algorithm doesn't find anything to flush.
Sorry if this has been fixed with 0.23, I'll upgrade now.
