Hi, You may remember I wrote earlier in the week after our server locked up, and I subsequently rebooted it with Linux 2.2.13 and pre-asun2.1.4-36a. I said I would report back with progress. Well, it seems stable - the server has been up since the reboot on Tuesday, and a lot more files have been moved to it from other mac and sun servers (I would say nearly 10GB new files have been copied to the server). I do have one user (out of ~15 mac users) with a problem - he keeps getting "file locked" messages from Quark. See: [root@home 1323.p103]# ls EH103 EH103.3.3 SetMark Special Markers.eps EH103 report May98.4col.seton.logo Setmark.pipe.markers.eps [root@home 1323.p103]# fuser * EH103: 22310 EH103.3.3: 22310 [root@home 1323.p103]# ps awux |grep theuser theuser 22310 0.0 1.3 3200 1784 ? S Nov02 0:57 /usr/sbin/afpd -U uams_clrtxt.so,uams_randnum.so -g nobody -c 100 -n theuser 27206 0.0 1.7 3136 2244 ? S Nov03 0:00 /usr/sbin/afpd -U uams_clrtxt.so,uams_randnum.so -g nobody -c 100 -n NB I don't know why - maybe I'm using an old version of ps - but the date above is wrong. The first process in the list actually started at 08:55 this morning, according to the log file. Question: is it normal to have two afpd sessions running for the same user? Is it one session per mac, or one session per shared directory connected? Question: Any ideas as to how it managed to get into the situation where the mac thought that the files were locked, but according to the server they were locked *by* the mac? Jon.
