summary of changes performed this week for 1.3.70
On Windows XP SP2, when a Kerberos principal is used for login and the
KDC is not reachable, Windows will return a DOWNGRADE_DETECTED error
when attempting to open the ioctl file. This is because NTLM will not
be permitted when there is the potential of an attack. There is a hack
to get around this. Manually create a CIFS connection to the AFS client
service while specifying the current user's name. This will use the cached
password and allow the downgrade to NTLM.
If the backup hosts file can't be deleted, try changing attribtues
first, and failing that try to come up with a unique name for the
backup instead of failing.
if there's a callback connection to a multihomed client, you need this
or you end up with multiple connections, one per IP, being made from
the single connection
Update documentation on cache control and credential manager options
in MSI deployment guide.
'CachePath' setting in registry allows REG_EXPAND_SZ type.
Update registry documentation for 'CachePath' setting.
Both installers save the credential manager command line options in
registry.
Fix handling of existing 'afsdcell.ini' file in WiX installer.
WiX 2.0.1927 changed the XML schema. The WiX installer has beed
updated accordingly.
Increase max chunksize to 128K from 32K. Windows uses 64K SMB writes.
The large chunksize helps reduce the overlapped write to afs issue.
Increase number of server threads from 4 to 25. Also helps to aleviate
the symptoms of the overlapped write to afs issue. I can now write files
as large as 80MB. 120MB files still fail.
Export pr_CreateUser and pr_SNameToId from afsauthent.lib in order to
allow aklog.exe to use them to determine if a new pts uid should be
created for a user when accessing a foreign cell.
Modify pioctl to output a message to stderr if a Downgrade Detection error
has been returned when attempting to open the __IOCTL__ file.
Increase version number to 1.3.6601
Use HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer:Logon User Name
to determine the current user name for the afscreds.exe display
Do not allow submount names to have forward or backward slashes
Add debug info to cm_ioctl to track token addition and deletion
Add register new user code to aklog.exe from KenH's AFS kit
Correct test in cm_callback.c for freelance root.afs volume which
should not have been applied when freelance was not active.
Move most log entries to the osi trace log from the afsd_init.log
Add log entries to help diagnose the lost callback problem
Fix a variety of type errors in header files and casts
More fixes for cm_Analyze. Do not allow a retry to be performed
if the timeLeft on the call has expired. Forcing a retry resets the
timeout period causing the call to never expire. The side effect is
that the SMB sessions never close. When the Windows SMB client times
out it will create a new session at a rate of one per 66 seconds. This
causes the SMB session limit to be exceeded and we panic.
Modify the SMB Session limit to be four less then the number of SMB
NCBs. This is because the server itself uses 4 NCBs which are not associated
with sessions.
As discovered previously, the cm_serverRef_t objects were not reference
counted. This resulted in the objects being freed while they were
still in use. This patch adds reference counting to the cm_serverRef_t
objects which are locked using the cm_serverLock.
Once the reference counting was fixed it became immediately obvious
that cm_VolumeUpdates could not succeed in altering the state of a
server list from ALLOFFLINE to NOTBUSY. cm_VolumeUpdate calls cm_Analyze
without a fid_t object which was required to obtain the server list for
the affected volume. Of course, cm_VolumeUpdate has a pointer to the
volume so cm_Analyze was updated to take an optional pointer to a
cm_serverRef_t which avoids the need for the fid_t object.
Undo the previous patch. the server list can't be cloned.
instead we will have to refCount the cm_serverRef_t objects.
This is going to be a lot of work. To be continued ...
This is a variation of Joe Buehler's request.
New registry key "NonPersistentCache" places the cache file into the
Windows paging file. One limitation of doing so is that the page file
cannot be grown with "fs setcachesize" and the associated ioctl.
There was a race condition where between a thread calling cm_GetServerList and using the returned server list, another
thread could free the server list. Now cm_GetServerList duplicates the server list with proper locks held. Callers of
cm_GetServerList call cm_FreeServerList to free the returned list.
FIXES 5926
This patch solves the problem of how timestamps are handled by during a
'vos restore' by allowing the specification of there the creation and last
updated timestamps are taken from:
- generate a new one using the current time
- retain the one in the target volume if there is one
- restore the timestamp from the dump file
This is needed to allow sequences of restoring incremental dumps on top of
full dump work, and to ensure that a subsequent vos release can do a real
incremental release for the restored incremental dumps.
It also fixes the fact that the vos exa command hides potential problems
with timestamps by refusing to display a last updated timestamp that is
older than the creation timestamp.
FIXES 6002
The appended patch resets afs_globalVFS to NULL if /afs cannot be mounted,
eg., if no cell server is accessible.
There are two advantages:
- it is possible to do "afsd -shutdown" to terminate all daemons
- more importantly, if /afs cannot be mounted, the linux kernel will
probably free the superblock, ie the memory pointed to afs_globalVFS.

fix the handling of unc paths in pioctl calls when the current directory
is the unc path. (not likely to be the case with cmd.exe since it does
not support pure unc path environments. 4nt.exe shows the problem though.)
Preliminary support for FreeBSD 5.3 and OpenBSD 3.6.
OpenBSD osi_vnodeops.c patch from brent@graveland.net (slightly modified)
Remove obsolete src/lwp/process.fbsd.s to prevent further confusion
Fix cm_Lookup to properly set the rw flag when adding Freelance mount
points based on whether the filename begins with a '.'
Fix cm_FreelanceAddMount to set the cellname to the cellname without
the '.' when rw mode is used and a cellname is not provided.
