Hi List!
=20
I'm not new to AFS but recently I encountered a strange problem. I do =
have a Linux box which was the only server for cell a. Everything was =
working flawlessly.
A couple of days ago this cell was shut down and the client on this box =
got configured (ThisCell) to now be a client of cell b. AFSd starts up =
okay and mounts /afs without any messages in the syslog, but when I try =
to access anything under /afs the clients hangs forever without any =
messages of lost fileservers or anything else in the syslog.
I tried everything... deleting all the AFS files and upgraded to =
openafs-1.2.11.
=20
I just need a little hint where to look for the error. Any other clients =
in the same subnet can access AFS without any problems.
=20
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
