So, I decide to exercise coda again.

ls -lRa gives me a listing of all my stuff, but nobody else's:

ls: playground/catfish: Connection timed out
ls: playground/peter-braam: Connection timed out
ls: playground/sand_pants: Connection timed out
ls: playground/sopwith: Connection timed out


  find . -ls gives me a list of the top-level directory but doesn't
recurse ?!

 frop:30 $ find . -ls
     0    2 drwxrwxrwx   2 root     65534        2048 Apr 10 18:09 .
7409699    1 -rw-r--r--   1 65435    65534         506 Apr 10 18:09 ./README
7342082    2 drwxrwxrwx   7 root     65534        2048 Jul 14 12:56 ./playground
7344131    2 drwxrwxrwx   2 root     65534        2048 Apr 10 18:10 ./pub


  And these strange warnings show up in the log after the ls -lRa:

[ W(18) : 0000 : 14:51:12 ] ADMON STATS:  DMQ Advice NOT valid. (uid = 100)
[ W(18) : 0000 : 14:51:12 ] ADMON STATS:  DMQ Advice NOT valid. (uid = 100)
[ W(18) : 0000 : 14:51:12 ] ADMON STATS:  DMQ Advice NOT valid. (uid = 100)
[ W(18) : 0000 : 14:51:12 ] ADMON STATS:  DMQ Advice NOT valid. (uid = 100)
[ W(18) : 0000 : 14:51:12 ] ADMON STATS:  DMQ Advice NOT valid. (uid = 100)
[ W(18) : 0000 : 14:51:12 ] ADMON STATS:  DMQ Advice NOT valid. (uid = 100)

  A later ls -lR comes up with:

ls: playground/thoth/netpipes4.0: Connection timed out

  in addition to the others.  Even a normal ls doesn't work on these
other directories.

 frop:44 $ ls -l /coda/playground/catfish/
ls: /coda/playground/catfish/: Connection timed out


  And, can anyone tell me how to shut down venus so that the machine will
not get all wacky, and so I can restart it later (and would I provide the
-init to venus when restarting?  would I provide -init after a reboot?)
This all belongs in the readme.  Heck, it's probably all in the enormous
.ps file, but I'm feeling lazy.

  What's the procedure for shutting down as soon as the cache is flushed
and the writes are committed to the server?

  Anyway, if you developer guys are feeling masochistic, I'd suggest you
install a serial link (115.2Kbit) between two of your servers and set up
a PPP channel through it.  This way two of your servers will be
abominably connected and you'll get to see lots of wacky problems :)
