This is a followup with more information and hope for a solution. I wrote in March about a student who had this error while running aklog -d (although ultimately successful) pr_SNameToId Error server or network not responding but also was able to access /afs/openafs.org but not /afs/cs.uwm.edu NET VIEW \\AFS gives the correct information: ... cs.uwm.edu Disk AFS MountPoint to #cs.uwm.edu:root.cell openafs.org Disk AFS MountPoint to #openafs.org:root.cell
I had another student with the syndrome (NIM works fine / openafs.org works fine / no cs.uwm.edu access / aklog -d gives the pr_SNameToId error) today, and I tried "fs checks" and found that it says that miller.cs.uwm.edu is not available Which is very strange since miller is not an AFS server (file or database). But miller is the machine that "cs.uwm.edu" resolves to! So it seems that the installation lacks a CellServDB and/or isn't capable of handling AFSBD and/or we're not producing the right records. I think the solution would be to create a CellServDB with an entry for cs.uwm.edu. Probably reinstalling openafs will give us a chance to get the grand-central version, which works for cs.uwm.edu Best regards, John _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
