So I tried using the coda client rpm against the testserver and let me just say, wow! This is dreamy! I do have a question though: I was playing with cfs and doing hte following did something wrong: $ cfs disconnect $ cfs reconnect because now when I attempt to do things to files/directories that aren't cached, I get a Connection timed out error: $ cd /coda/playground $ ls junk ls: junk: Connection timed out on reading the file INSTALL, I saw this: d) Restarting a client. You should umount /coda, since this may not get done automatically. If it fails, make sure you kill all processes using /coda; cd out of Coda directories etc. If ps aux | grep venus displays a Zombie venus, reboot your machine before trying again. (If you don't you'll likely have to run fsck by hand later.) So I checked for zombie processes and sure enough I have: root 11856 0.5 17.0 12144 10828 p4 S 13:27 0:25 venus -init root 11865 0.0 0.0 0 0 p4 Z 13:28 0:00 (venus <zombie>) So.... What does all this mean? I take it, I should reboot before experimenting with coda further, yes? But is this supposed to happen? Should I be doing something else to disconnect from the coda server temporarily? To reconnect? Should a normal user be able to disconnect from coda? Or should only root be able to do a cfs disconnect? Anxiously awaiting answers (so I can ask more questions!) -- -Toshio Kuratomi // "The Past is always with us." badger_at_prtr-13.ucsc.edu //=_=~=_=~=_=~=_=~=_=~=_=~=_=~=_=~=_=~=_=~Received on 1997-08-25 18:19:13
