You can use the -dynroot afsd option; this will start up AFS and not actually attempt to contact your cell's servers until a process actually tries to use /afs.
The disadvantage is that /afs will be a fake directory created from the contents of CellServDB, not the root.afs volume in your cell. (which is problematic if you want to create anything special in /afs) -Chris Wing [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 17 Nov 2003, steve rader wrote: > When my power fails, most of my (linux) clients come up before > my servers, and so I have to manually reboot clients to get > their afs going. > > Is there some way to handle this problem gracefully?
