Hi,

this is just a short mail (my defense is on monday)
to tell you that I have some problem with my venus.

To give you a brief idea what happend:

	1) I did a hoard walk on the 24th
	2) I went away and did plenty of hacking
	   on the presentation. 
	3) I *guess* that I exceeded the coda cache,
	   all of a sudden files had been thrown 
	   out of the cache. Luckily only yesterday 
	   evening.
	4) I came to my office, did a clog
	   and cfs lv /c/h/sneumann showed 
	   fully connected without anything pending.
	   Fine. I thought.

	5) clog on another client -> old content 
	   in files.

	6) Checking the laptop: Old date (24th) 
	   on the files, but new content.
	   CVS refused to check in.
	   (Yes, CVS directory was among those that timed out 
	    yesterday evening as well :-()

	6.5) touch * ; cvs commit helped the last problem.
	     And no, the files are still different 
	     on two fully connected machines.

	6.6) A touch * in a large directory (.../graphics)
	     killed venus, I will send the logs via private mail,
	     they're quite large.

	7) On the next startup venus discarded runt object
	   cdb-integration-de.dia and went on. Current files appeared 
	   on other clients.

No, this is not the kind of excitement I was looking for today.
Fortunately I am paranoid enough to have copies 
all over in /home and /tmp ;-)

So long,
Steffen


System(s) are: Laptop 2.4.2x, Coda 5.3.20-ish CVS,
Server 6.0.x. If needed I can send excerpts from server logs
on tuesday.

Hope this'll help in debugging:
