I have know installed arla-0.35.5 and the same problem still occurs.

It is very easy to repeat the error. Any writing on the AFS-volume
hangs. E.g.
> cat > /afs/<dir>/test.txt
Testing testin.
[Ctrl-D]
or
> cp /afs/<dir>/file1 /afs/<dir>/file2
Both commands get stuck (cat at [Ctrl-D]). An empty file is created
nothing is ever written to it.
When the command is stuck on write, you can still access the
afs-volume from another shell.

The linux dist. I have is Redhat 7.1, kernel 2.4.2-2.

I also ran arlad with debug flags and got the following output when
doing the cat-command above.

>/usr/arla/libexec/arlad -n -z --debug=almost-all
