AFP mounts – AFP_VFS afpfs_Reconnect

[tbone]

Hello Folks,

Every week or so on my workstation I’ll click on something in the GUI unrelated to an AFP mount and I see the following in my system.log.

pr 4 16:08:08 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs UserCommand: sosend failed for request 32
Apr 4 16:08:08 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_Reconnect started /Volumes/SHARED
Apr 4 16:08:08 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_Reconnect: connect succeeded

Apr 4 16:08:08 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_Reconnect: primary reconnect succeeded
Apr 4 16:08:08 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_Reconnect: afpfs_MountAFPVolume failed 22
Apr 4 16:08:09 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_unmount: /Volumes/SHARED, flags 524288, pid 1132
Apr 4 16:08:09 localhost kernel: AFP_VFS afpfs_unmount: succeeded

I don’t understand why the system is loosing these connections. On top of that I don’t understand why it is always able to reconnect to my OS X Server AFP mount, in this case “macapps” and “backup”, but is never able to reconnect to my NetWare 6.5 AFP mounts, in this case “SHARED”.

I run a very clean OS X 10.3.8 dual G4 1.42 Ghz workstation. I have my system.log as my desktop via GeekTool and this is the only third party modification I use. I saw a couple of other people with the same issues when I googled it but nothing of use. Any ideas?
Thanks.

If you ask me, these AFP server drops started in 10.3.6 or 10.3.7. I have an open ticket with Apple on these issues. Apple IS aware of the problem. Neither 10.3.8 or the recent security patches help. Emil me if you wanna research it with me [email protected]

You use Active Directory by chance?

We’re having the same kinds of problems with Mac OS X 10.3/10.4 clients connecting to an ExtremeZ-IP 4.0 server (not upgraded to 4.1 or 4.2). Same kinds of log entries.
