You can simulate this easily with no-AFSDB, and a sync site on a not-in-CellServDB server. You end up with UNOTSYNC, iirc, but basically "you lose" > dbservers are different, though; the specification in CellServDB affects > the voting algorithm Only for the server config of course, but yeah. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
