Hi,

I've been trying to get a coda server and client to happily talk to  
each other but unfortunately it's been proving difficult. Everything  
seems to be installed OK on both machines, and I can 'clog' just fine  
from the client into the server. But then when I try to read /coda it  
just hangs for about a minute and bombs out with:

prla_at_citidesk1:/var/lib/coda/cache$ ls /coda
ls: /coda/193.137.121.129: No such device

With 193.137.121.129 being the coda server. A quick glance at /var/ 
log/messages on the client tells me that:

Jan 16 14:20:54 alinex-7TX2Oz kernel: coda_read_super: device index: 0
Jan 16 14:20:54 alinex-7TX2Oz kernel: coda_read_super: rootfid is  
(00000001.ff000001.
00000001.00000001)
Jan 16 14:20:54 alinex-7TX2Oz kernel: coda_read_super: rootinode is  
1049600 dev coda
Jan 16 14:23:08 alinex-7TX2Oz kernel: coda_upcall: Venus dead on  
(op,un) (10.10) flag
s 10
Jan 16 14:23:08 alinex-7TX2Oz kernel: No pseudo device in upcall  
comms at e0b8d420

 From googling around and digging on this list, I've learnt that this  
happens because venus dies and the kernel module can no longer talk  
to it, but I'm clueless as to why exactly it happens.

Am I doing something awfully wrong here? I'll be happy to provide  
whatever logs and additional info you may want to see.

Thanks in advance,

Paulo
