Hi,
You may remember I wrote earlier in the week after our server locked
up, and I subsequently rebooted it with Linux 2.2.13 and
pre-asun2.1.4-36a. I said I would report back with progress.
Well, it seems stable - the server has been up since the reboot on
Tuesday, and a lot more files have been moved to it from other mac and
sun servers (I would say nearly 10GB new files have been copied to the
server).
I do have one user (out of ~15 mac users) with a problem - he keeps
getting "file locked" messages from Quark. See:
[root@home 1323.p103]# ls
EH103 EH103.3.3 SetMark Special Markers.eps
EH103 report May98.4col.seton.logo Setmark.pipe.markers.eps
[root@home 1323.p103]# fuser *
EH103: 22310
EH103.3.3: 22310
[root@home 1323.p103]# ps awux |grep theuser
theuser 22310 0.0 1.3 3200 1784 ? S Nov02 0:57
/usr/sbin/afpd -U uams_clrtxt.so,uams_randnum.so -g nobody -c 100 -n
theuser 27206 0.0 1.7 3136 2244 ? S Nov03 0:00
/usr/sbin/afpd -U uams_clrtxt.so,uams_randnum.so -g nobody -c 100 -n
NB I don't know why - maybe I'm using an old version of ps - but the
date above is wrong. The first process in the list actually started
at 08:55 this morning, according to the log file.
Question: is it normal to have two afpd sessions running for the same
user? Is it one session per mac, or one session per shared directory
connected?
Question: Any ideas as to how it managed to get into the situation
where the mac thought that the files were locked, but according to the
server they were locked *by* the mac?
Jon.
