Hi all, at last I succeeded to install openAFS client on Mandriva 2006 distribution, so I post a brief summary, maybe it will be usefull to someone in the future..
All the required packets are in the distribution if you add to the Installation DVD other media on the web (in particular "Contrib"). You can use the site http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ to get help about the urpmi commands to do. Starting from a "just-installed" Mandriva 2006 distribution, after adding these media, I installed in the following order: 1) flex, bison, byacc (but not sure they are required) 2) the sources of my kernel (the packet name is "kernel-source-<version>": you can get the version of the running kernel using "uname -a") 3) dkms 4) dkms-libafs (It takes some minutes.. maybe it is compiling something. I rebooted system after that, in order to have this new module loaded in the kernel.. but not sure that it is required) 5) openafs, openafs-client After that, you'll notice that the afsd daemon fails to start because the file /etc/openafs/ThisCell is missing. I added manually with my favourite cell name: echo "cellname" >/etc/openafs/ThisCell And now all works!! That's all Bye Matteo _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
