Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openafs-client
Hi, I'm using the openafs-client package from Ubuntu Gutsy (openafs-client 1.4.4.dfsg1-7). Sometimes the DHCP server is quite slow to respond, but OpenAFS already tries to use the network and fails to contact the volume location server, making AFS unusable from this client. See the log below. I think the OpenAFS client should only be started after the network connection is set up correctly, but it seems to be started too early. Regards, Ansgar Log for a cold-start with the DHCP server only answering after a few seconds: Jul 16 09:25:31 loonquawl dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Jul 16 09:25:36 loonquawl dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Jul 16 09:25:37 loonquawl kernel: [ 24.268000] openafs: module license 'http://www.openafs.org/dl/license10.html' taints kernel.
