[OpenAFS] HOWTO: multiple cells on a single machine
It's not pretty, but it's working for me right now. May be useful to others. http://www.megacz.com/advice/afs/one.machine.multiple.cells.html It would make me really, really happy if the OpenAFS server knew how to bind to just a single interface -- then I wouldn't need to run Linux-VServer (which requires a kernel patch and severely limits which kernels you can use). It's pretty clear where to do this (rx_user.c:rx_Init()), but where to get the desired interface IP from ($AFS_SERVER_CONFIG_DIR/NetBind?) is a judgement call for somebody else to make. - a -- PGP/GPG: 5C9F F366 C9CF 2145 E770 B1B8 EFB1 462D A146 C380 ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

[OpenAFS] Access Home Dir on AFS
Dear all, First of all let me thank you guys for inputs on my two questions first was afs tokens gui available for MacOS thanks to David (btw, does anyone has dmg file? friend help me to recompile code but my other art majors wanna have dmg file)and second one was accessing my home space which I still need answer for. I am not trying to use AFS as my home directory as I dont have internet connection all time. Problem: When click on AFS from my desktop it takes me to the root of our cell not directly to my home directory. create a softlink (ln -s) idea of bil but is there any other solution. By the way I am not an IT guy, I am art and business major so please write down details so can solve my every growing problem.

Re: [OpenAFS] OpenAfs and MS Office: Delayed Write Failed
Frank: You are consistently receiving an IN PAGE ERROR unfortunately there do not appear to be any errors occurring on the AFS CIFS server side of the connection. The CIFS client is simply breaking the connection at some point. A couple of questions: * what version of Word are you using? When I monitor Word 2003 SP2 I see that most of the writing is being performed by SYSTEM and not by WINWORD.EXE. This is because Word is using asynchronous background writes. In your log data I see all of the data being written by WINWORD.EXE. * what version of OpenAFS for Windows is this log generated with? The debug monitor log shows that shortly after the file monitor logs the IN PAGE ERROR, the AFS cache manager receives a number of TellMeAboutYourself requests from AFS File Servers. This often indicates that there was a network failure of some kind as the servers are responding to the establishment of a new rx connection. If the network dropped on the machine, the Windows CIFS client would respond by closing all of the existing connections. Perhaps that is what you are seeing. Its not clear from the logs that anything unusual is taking place.

So 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, etc could be used? I've never seen a machine with a 127.0.0.2 interface. Loopback is generally sort of magical; I don't think you can have more than one (certainly not in a portable way). In theory, you could pick different port numbers ... but how you configure that is an open question. --Ken ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

Re: [OpenAFS] mkmount -- unable to create a root.cell mount point
/afs is readonly, either because you're using the freelance mode or because root.afs is a read-only clone. Try running fs newcell with the new cell information. In the latter case you also need to edit the read-write copy of your root.afs volume. -derek Quoting shajid t [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I want to add a new mount point for a cell without restarting the AFS service.

OpenAFS RT ticket 32308 has a patch providing bound rx socket support for all the servers. It binds to a single IP address which is all addresses in NetInfo minus all in NetRestrict, if the -rxbind option is given.

Re: [OpenAFS] OpenAfs and MS Office: Delayed Write Failed
I have been able to reproduce the problem on my system. The scenario is that the Windows CIFS client is breaking the connection while there are dozens of CIFS Write requests outstanding. The client appears to break the connection on my system when the oldest outstanding connection has been waiting for 90 seconds. You can increase the wait period by setting this registry value to a higher value. Perhaps 120 or 180 seconds. [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters] SessTimeout This problem is exacerbated by the fact that requests in process within the cache manager are not prioritized by age and they can be processed out of order. When there are many outstanding requests some requests end up waiting longer than is desirable. This problem will only go completely away when the CIFS interface is replaced by an IFS. Only then will there not be an arbitrary timeout applied to operations.
