I recently installed the AFS file system on a Debian Linux machine running the unstable distribution. Every time the scripts in /etc/cron.daily are run now I get a series of error messages about connections timing out for /afs domains. The messages look like find: /afs/bcc.ac.uk: Connection timed out The subject of the message from cron is Subject: Cron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> run-parts /etc/cron.daily
It seems that find is only called at / by updatedb in the script /etc/cron.daily/find and that script has a configuration file that puts /afs in the PRUNEPATHS and afs in the PRUNEFS variables. Those exclusions seem to work if I run the script by hand because I don't get any timeouts on afs domains. Are there are other scripts in /etc/cron.daily that may be running a find from / without excluding /afs? The contents of /etc/cron.daily for me are $ ls /etc/cron.daily acct find news standard apache man-db smail sysklogd apache.dpkg-old netbase smail.dpkg-dist calendar netbase.dpkg-dist squid -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
