I'll append the last 100 lines from venus.log. There you can see that all
directorys under /coda has gone.

I have also run venus under gdb with but I get no interesting message.
It looks like that venus dont die but only the mounted files are gone.
Sometimes I can shutdown venus successfully but a clean restart is
impossible.

Can It be an cache problem? I have two servers and in this case venus run
on server 1 (scm) and the volume to write is on server 2. All files must
write over network to server 2. So I setup a big cache (300000) on server
1 and start the cvsup. It runs for a while and then /coda went away.
After I restart venus with init and all cached files are gone, I try it
again and I get sometimes conflicts on one directory wich I cant repair
because of "Cant allocate new repvol ...". So I have to wait untill the
cvsup stops, clean the cache and try again.

No segfault at all but only on restart without init. There I get an
