Hi
Once in a while the whole appletalk network goes down for a period of 1 to 5
minutes: the server (and all other macs) dissapear from the choser on every
computer, without any appearent reason. Even the windows clients (samba)
have problems accessing the server. It almost looks like the network raffic
is to much to do anything.
I am running 1.4b2+asun2.1.3 on a Suse system. The kernel is a plain (not
suse) 2.2.16 with raidpatch.
Here is a part from syslog during one of these downperiods.
Jul 11 16:08:53 base afpd[5666]: afp_alarm: child timed out
Jul 11 16:08:53 base afpd[5666]: 29.55KB read, 70.70KB written
Jul 11 16:08:53 base afpd[342]: server_child[1] 5666 exited 1
Jul 11 16:08:53 base afpd[5556]: afp_alarm: child timed out
Jul 11 16:08:53 base afpd[5556]: 24.99KB read, 108.03KB written
Jul 11 16:08:53 base afpd[342]: server_child[1] 5556 exited 1
Jul 11 16:09:06 base afpd[6044]: afp_alarm: child timed out
Jul 11 16:09:06 base afpd[6044]: 6393.42KB read, 186858.25KB written
Jul 11 16:09:06 base afpd[342]: server_child[1] 6044
Although the afpd´s died here, at 16:12 the connections came back without
any new entries in the log.
Anyone a hint? BTW what does this child timed out mean? What has happend?
thanks
markus
