I do still have an alpha on which to try reproducing it, but I had been using XFS for so long that I'll have to dust off the corner of my brain that remembers how to use AFS. :) > I wanted to check with you first, though, in case you objected or had > more information. Otherwise, I'll go ahead and close this bug. Go ahead and close the bug; I'm content to assume that it was the XFS bug, not an alpha bug, and just open a fresh one if I find out later that this was not the case.
