Yes, I do see the same behavior.

Sometimes access to afs takes a long time, for example the first 'ls' 
for a server after 'cd /afs/SOMESERVER' takes a few minutes. The next 
few commands only took a minute each, until it was at reasonable speed.

Copying down a large file from secured afs worked pretty well (with 
about half of the possible 100mbit bandwidth). The CPU system load was 
pretty high, though: 12% on a C2Q.

Then I tried to copy a file to afs... since then, afs hangs (even 'cd 
/afs' in a different terminal hangs).

Even if nothing uses afs, 'umount /afs' hangs, too, but I can still 
issue 'afsd -shutdown' in a different terminal after that. Restarting 
afsd freezes the machine, though.

Overall, afs does not seem to be usable, but you did not promise 
anything else.

Is there any way to cleanly shut down afs and restart it for further 
tests without reboot the machine?

Where can I get the rc script Derrick was talking about?

Any ideas for improvements? Should 8-STALBE instead of 8.0-RELEASE work 
better? Any configuration changes I should try?

Thanks,
Jan Henrik
