Bug#329431: openafs-dbserver: afs-newcell not creating /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB properly

2005-09-21 Thread Jiann-Ming Su 
Package: openafs-dbserver
Version: 1.3.81-3sarge1
Severity: important


The problem I'm experiencing is similar to #325929 and is mentioned at
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2005-May/017787.html.

Basically, the afs-newcell script is not putting the IP address of the
server being configured into the /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB file.
When I modify that file manually, and comment out line 125 of the
afs-newcell script I get much farther along.

  run( "echo \\>$cell >/etc/openafs/server/CellServDB");

Output when afs-newcell puts bad info in the CellServDB file:

  Do you meet these requirements? [y/n] y
  If the fileserver is not running, this may hang for 30 seconds.

Yes, the afs-newcell script has some problems in certain circumstances.
I'm not completely sure when the sarge version works and when it doesn't;
it works some of the time, but using bos addhost to add the file server
host was very unreliable.

The script has been completely rewritten and heavily tested in 1.4rc1-1,
currently in Debian testing.



The README.servers is very good.  You may want to mention
that the /var/cache/openafs directory needs be a ext[23] filesystem.
I think that's the unwritten assumption.  I get "Cell setup failed" 
when it is not.

Yeah, this is documented somewhat now in the latest version, but I'm
currently preparing an upload of 1.4rc4-1 that will give a clear error
message and fail to start if the cache partition is using the wrong file
system.
