Hi All,
Picture this: A sun LX workstation running SunOS 4.1.4/AFS 3.4a. Works fine.
Someone decides to move this machine to another room. Same name, same IP.
Switch off the power, move the unit, switch it back on. /etc/messages
tells us that afsd fail to mount /afs. Scratching the /usr/vice/cache,
no afsd in "ps -aux" listing, running afsd -verbose manually gives:
---
*** Lots of messages ***
afsd: Forking trunc-cache daemon.
afsd: Mounting the AFS root on '/afs', flags: 4.
afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(16)
---
Why? What happened? Any clues someone? To add to the confusion *some* of
the mountpoints, or directories in the cell actually *are* precent. It *is*
possible to enter the root.cell mountpoint, but all the dirs under that
level arenempty. Other machines in the cell are OK. (in this regard)
The machime was rebooted a couple of weeks ago and has been used after
that reboot.
I'm clueless... Anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
/peo
