Hi, after having solved the problem with volume creation (many thanks to Jan Harkes for the patch) I have trouble with venus (at least I think that venus is the problem): When I move huge amounts of data from a local drive to a coda volume, I get inconsistencies with the coda server. My local venus cache is about 100M large but the data I am moving is larger (e.g. an installation directory of StarOffice). It seems that the inconsistencies do not occur when I disable write-back caching (by saying "cfs writereconnect"). Here is a command that produces inconsistencies: [/opt]# mv StarOffice5.2/* /coda/opt/i386_linux/StarOffice5.2 (where /coda/opt/i386_linux/StarOffice5.2 is a coda volume) For now, I can live with write-back caching disabled, but perhaps someone knows another nifty patch that solves the problem? Btw: should I fetch the current CVS version of coda (I did not dare this, yet) or should I better wait for the next official version? For reference, here is my configuration again: PIII-500MHz, 256MB Linux Mandrake 7.2 with Kernel 2.4.0-ac1 and devfs aktivated. I do not use any raw partitions for coda. The machine that runs the (only) server also is the only client (yet!). Many thanks, Ivo.Received on 2001-01-05 16:54:37
