Coda File System

Inconsistent files that coda report as not inconsistent

	Unfortunately, lately we've been getting inconsistencies more routinely
than before.  This morning I came in and found some inconsistencies that
I couldn't fix.  Here's a sample transcript:

# cfs flushcache
# service codaclient restart (this restarts venus and unloads and
reloads the kernel module)
# cd /path/to/inconsistent/object
# ls -l savi.dl_
lrwxr-xr-x    1 admin    65534          36 Jul 11 19:07 savi.dl_ ->
@7f000001.00001c8c.00009470_at_director
# cfs br savi.dl_
savi.dl_ isn't inconsistent

	But obviously it is.  The repair program gives the same sort of
problem.  And the console log file shows this:

09:10:24 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
09:10:42 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
11:05:11 MaxRetries exceeded...returning EWOULDBLOCK
12:05:08 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
12:35:01 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
12:40:01 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
12:40:24 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
13:35:01 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
15:40:29 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
17:35:03 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
17:40:26 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
18:05:03 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
18:35:09 savi.dl_ (606e1fc8.7f000001.1c8c.9470) inconsistent!
18:40:01 savi.dl_ (606e1fc8.7f000001.1c8c.9470) inconsistent!
18:45:00 savi.dl_ (606e1fc8.7f000001.1c8c.9470) inconsistent!
18:55:00 savi.dl_ (606e1fc8.7f000001.1c8c.9470) inconsistent!
19:05:01 Volume /httpd busy, waiting
19:05:18 savi.dl_ (606e1fc8.7f000001.1c8c.9470) inconsistent!

	Any ideas on 1) what might be causing this and 2) how to repair these
files?
