Hi again

  found some new facts to the problem posted yesterday on the list:

  each time one of the client crashes, it normally reports in codacon:
    09:20:32 Checkpointing
    09:20:32 to /usr/coda/spool/501/coda_.tar
    09:20:32 and /usr/coda/spool/501/coda.cml
    09:21:15 Reintegrate  pending tokens for uid = 501
  where uid 501 is the httpd on the clients

  when the system hangs "cfs checkservers" reports :
    Contacting servers .....
    VIOCCKSERV: No such device or address

  after a venus -init the system is up running again

  I also found sometimes this error near the time the system crashed:

    Aug 13 10:17:17 blade2 kernel: Coda: Bye bye.
    Aug 13 10:17:26 blade2 kernel: coda_read_super: device index: 0
    Aug 13 10:17:26 blade2 kernel: coda_read_super: rootfid is (0xff000001.0x1.0x1)
    Aug 13 10:17:26 blade2 kernel: coda_read_super: rootinode is 1367858057 dev 9

  Here also the startup of venus (maybe sth in it which can help)

  I hope somebody can help me, I don't want to use NFS if it does not work :)
