Ok, I'm confused. I cannot compile with --disable-namei-fileserver for some reason. At one point the inode fileserver was the default on AIX, but that doesn't appear to be the case any longer. I have a partition on my test server that previously housed volumes with the inode fileserver. When I run configure with the --disable-namei-fileserver option, then check src/config/afsconfig.h, AFS_NAMEI_ENV is still defined as before.
So my questions are:
1. Can I actually disable AFS_NAMEI_ENV with configure?
the src/config/param.rs_aix51.h is the version I used. I hard coded the #define AFS_NAMEI_ENV here because I thought nobody should start on a new server with the inode interface, anymore.
If you want just remove these lines.
2. If I uncomment line 8 in src/config/afsconfig.h should I get an inode fileserver?
see above
3. How can I determine if the binaries in /usr/afs/bin are inode or namei capable? (symbols?)
do a "strings fileserver |grep namei" this shows lots of routine names if it is build with AFS_NAMEI_ENV.
4. How can I determine if the volumes on the partition are ok, and I'm not just getting an error because they are corrupt? (I don't really care about the volumes because it's only a test server, I just want to determine if the error is valid)
If you have volumes which were created with the inode-interface you cannot use the partition with a namei-fileserver. You should start your old fileserver and move them else where, then best remake your filesystem, start the namei-fileserver and move them back.
5. What is actually creating the log /usr/afs/logs/FileLog? Fileserver? That is where the error messages are output, example:
Yes, the following message I introduced into the fileserver to prevent you from destroying your exsiting inode-volumes!

Tue Jul 8 13:51:22 2003 This program is compiled with AFS_NAMEI_ENV, but partition /vicepa seems to contain
volumes which don't use the namei-interface; aborting
Thanks in advance, -Matt
