Re: write problems to AFS with windows XP roaming profiles

Guenter:

openafs-win32-devel is a mailing list for developers.   Please send end
user queries regardless of the platform to [email protected].

When sending your query please clarify what you upgraded.
Were you really using OpenAFS 1.2 on Windows?   Or when you are
describing your upgrade are you referring to the AFS servers?

If you upgraded your AFS servers from 1.2 to 1.5.59, please be
aware that 1.5.59 is not the production version for OpenAFS on UNIX.
We strongly recommend that the 1.4.10 release be used on UNIX
unless you have a desire to help test some of the up and coming
functionality.
