after doing build and install, it took a while to build the cache, but
after I was sure that it was finished, the disk kept on churning...I
ran arlad under gdb, and turned on logging flag -1, and it was
spinning on upcalls from xfs.

Tue Oct  6 15:43:50 1998: arlad: Rec message: opcode = 8 (getdata), size = 40
Tue Oct  6 15:43:50 1998: arlad: Multi-send: opcode = 9 (installdata), size = 452
Tue Oct  6 15:43:50 1998: arlad: multi-sending wakeup: seq = 327023, error = 0

...

this happens any time I try to stat/readdir/read anthing in the
mounted directory. the 'arlad -t' process level client seems to work
perfectly well for me

the arla project is such a great contribution, I'm quite willing to
spend some time tracking this and similar problems down...if you have
any hints, I'd love to hear from you, otherwise I'll just continue to
try to debug things myself, and let you know should I find anything

thanks for all your work
