AlphaServer SC patch kit:
==========================

AlphaServer SC Version : V2.6 SSB 
Kit Name: SCV26SSB106425
Release Date: 03/31/2004
PTR: 153-2-1382
IPMT Number: CFS.106425
Abstract: Socket not connected errors on compute nodes after SCFS failover.


Description of Patch:
=====================

1. This patch fixes a problem where compute nodes would receive the error
   code ENOTCONN (socket not connected) when attempting to read or write
   data to a file on an SCFS file system after a change of server. Metadata
   operations would not be affected and would work correctly at all times.

2. Changes the default value of the scfs_client sysconfig parameter
   early_term_lifetime to 600 (10 minutes). This sets the lifetime of
   notifications that arrive early and the value of 600 has been in use at
   various sites on V2.5 for some months.
