Hi, Not sure if this is the right list to ask - but I will try ;).
I used the x-mas period to setup my local cell again, this time using only omnios latest LTS release (illumos). Unfortunately it was not fully straight forward and I would like to know how to address the below points: Also I would like to know if you could incorporate the below mentioned patches for omnios (solaris tree) so that the next maintenance releases will again build out of the box. - build process / dokumentation - zone support. Sorry I try to be brief with the text. * —————— build process: To build the following pre-requisites are mandatory (this is missing in any doc) - SolarisStudio 12.3 (or below). - gmake - the patches from Tim Creech to work around the „old kerberos includes“ in Illumos - https://git.sr.ht/~tcreech/openafs/commit/220e4c02cf61fdf02dedd65162630171e40571cb This patches are mandatory, else „aklog“ and „klog“ will not build. After the patch build will succeed, but kernel optimization needs to be disabled to avoid a kernel panic in afsd (honestly, I am not skilled enough to find out why ..) I used this configure options for the build: AS=/../solarisstudio12.3/bin/sunas \ CC=/../solarisstudio12.3/bin/suncc \ SOLARISCC=/../solarisstudio12.3/bin/suncc \ CFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath=/opt/openafs/lib " \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/openafs --with-afs-sysname=sunx86_511 --enable-namei-fileserver --disable-optimize-kernel gmake * —————— build finished after this and all is up and running... * —————— zone support Also - Tim Creech has some nice and simple hints how to make openafs available in all zones - This works like a charm and I would like to know if you could publish this also on the wiki in the solaris section ? https://werc.tcreech.com/notes/Illumos/OpenAFS_in_Zones Well that’s it. So my main question are : - could you please add the patch to the next maintenance release, or minimum a hint on the wiki to show others how to build on omnios / illumos. - could you please update the solaris documentation with hints about the build procedure (see the configure options). - could you please update the solaris documentation with the references on how to use openafs in zones. Also if you would need, please let me know how I can help and I will happily use some of my spare time to support you. And last but not least, I am quite happy with my cell and I am also very grateful that you all keep the old code running and in a clean shape … ;-) Thanks in advance and have a good start in 2026. Best regards marco
