Win 1.5.52 service does not startup

Hi!

- From yesterday to today 2 clients decided not to be able anymore to
startup AFS service.

Both are Win XP SP3 OpenAFS 1.5.52.
One fileserver had problems due the night and went off/on, thats
resolved now and the two failed client has been restarted more than once.
Even after logging in and trying to start the service by hand shows me:
not able to start.

The clients can reach the AFS DB servers and fileservers, they know
where the volumes are (vos exa root.afs and vos exa root.afs e.g. are
working).
I put the afsd_init log as zip files here:
http://aceini.no-ip.info/afs/afsd_init.zip
http://aceini.no-ip.info/afs/afsd_init2.zip

Both shows me: root.cell not found.

Strange error as the clients know where the root.cell is (vos exa tells
me correct values).

Any hint?

BTW: why does Win OpenAFS client has big issues if one DB server is
down, while Linux clients working flawless?

MfG,
Lars Schimmer

In other words you are instructing the client not to start if the VLDB
server list for 'cgv.tugraz.at' cannot be obtained from the CellServDB
file or the 'root.afs' volume cannot be located.

The cache manager attempts to obtain the info for the root.afs volume
and fails:

a - Done dumping cells.

Mask 0x2 in the cell flags field indicates the client is trying to
obtain the CellServDB info from DNS which of course won't happen since
DNS support is disabled.

The question is therefore, why isn't the VLDB info being found in the
CellServDB file?

I just use the .msi and set just auto obtain tolens active, our DNS does
not hold AFS entries.

I cannot tell.
I did some (cold) restarts of the win machines today and they never came
back to start the OpenAFS service, everytime this error.

Just as the load on server went down a bit, I did a bos restart server
- -all on ALL my db and fileserver.
And now the win machines boot up and AFS service starts like yesterday.

Looks like a bad state of server/client communication, forced with often
up/down of network to one DB/fileserver, which keeps only a RO of the
root.cell/root.afs volumes.

In other words: now it works and I cannot debug any further. And I did
nothing to the clients other than try to restart AFS service and reading
afsd_init.log. I just bos restart all servers (which are all debian, one
1.4.6, three 1.4.7)

If you want the clients to start when the root.afs volume is not
available, use Freelance mode.
