That's fine. They will be in /afs because they are mountpoints in root.afs. When you try to access them, the cache manager will try to evaluate the mountpoint, causing an AFSDB lookup for the cell in question. So, in this situation you don't need empty CellServDB entries. > So if i use want to use AFSDB-records i have to run dynroot ? > I see no reason for that dependency. No, there's no dependency; I was similarly confused by your mention of dynroot in your message. The two features are fairly independent. If you are using _both_ dynroot and AFSDB, there is a reason for empty CellServDB entries: to tell dynroot to make mountpoints for those cells before you try to access them, but fetch the volume server information from AFSDB records. (Same reason as you mention above for non-dynroot case, except I believe it only applies here and not there.) -- kolya _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
