(I just entered a bug report with this same text as bug #31903)
I am testing the OpenAFS Windows client on a XP SP2 machine which should be
reasonably up to date with patches. I cannot reliably browse the '\\afs' root
in Windows Explorer. Sometimes this works, but other times I get the error:
\\afs is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find
out if you have access permissions.
The network path was not found.
Freelance mode is enabled. I have tried with and without integrated logon, it
seems equally likely to misbehave.
What I am trying to do is just go to "Run" in the start menu, and enter
'\\afs'. Occasionally this succeeds and I can see the list of freelance mount
points. Most of the time it fails with the above error.
What does work properly all the time is going directly to an AFS cell, by
entering:
\\afs\cell.name
in the "Run" prompt. Other than this weird \\afs browsing problem, the AFS
client seems to be working correctly.
Interestingly, I _can_ get to the root (\\afs) if I first open up an Explorer
window, by entering the UNC path:
\\afs\cell.name
and then clicking on the "Up" button in Windows Explorer. The file manager
will then go up to the \\afs root and display the list of shares (freelance
mountpoints) correctly.
If I try to enter '\\afs' directly into the location bar, I will usually get
the same error as before (from the "Run" command in the start menu).
I obtained the output of 'fs trace -dump' during which time the error
occurred. I reproduced this as follows:
1. Reboot the machine
2. Log in with a windows domain account, but do not obtain any AFS
tokens
3. Run (as administrator):
fs trace -reset
fs trace -on
4. Go to the start menu, click "Run" and enter '\\afs'
5. The error is displayed (it does not browse \\afs properly)
6. Run (as administrator)
fs trace -dump
fs trace -off
7. Copy the resulting C:\WINDOWS\Temp\afsd.log file
The log file is available for downloading here:
http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~wingc/openafs/bugs/oafs-1.4.1-winxp-afsbrowse-20060516.log
In the log file, the following names are used:
ultra20, ULTRA20 - machine's host name
localadmin - name of local administrator account
(used to run 'fs trace' commands)
UMROOT\wingc - my Windows domain account which I was
logged in as (when trying to browse
\\afs)
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Chris Wing
