Try using gamin instead of fam.  That's the problem with a lot of file
browsers.  Since fam runs outside of the user's context as a system
service, it doesn't have the credentials to see into AFS, and the
confusion between what the file browser can see vs. what fam can see
confuses it.

[OpenAFS] AFS nautilus file browser

2006-08-21 Thread Kirk Patton 
Hello,

I am running an AFS cell using OpenAFS 1.4.0-c4.  A user has reported issues 
with the file browser
nautilas.  It crashes when browsing AFS file spaces.

Has anyone come accross this before?  I saw a previous post reguarding a 
similar issue, Oct 2001, 
but there was not resolution mentioned.

The client OS is Centos 4.3

Thanks,
Kirk

Not a clue.  I've never tried it.

That sounds... problematic.

Yeah, the main thing that the fsr wrapper takes care of is configurable
behavior about crossing mount points.

Here's a recursive "fs sa" for afs using xargs:

 find . -noleaf -type d -print0 | xargs -0 -n 2 fs sa -acl XX YY -dir

Here's a recursive "fs sa" for afs using xargs:

  find . -noleaf -type d -print0 | xargs -0 -n 2 fs sa -acl XX YY -dir

A few things to notice:

* -noleaf in AFS makes find do the Right Thing at the root of volumes.

* -print0 instead of -print makes find do the Right Thing wrt names with 
spaces and other weird characters that we normally eschew.


* The "-0" makes xargs do the Right Thing wrt find's "-print0". (They 
were literally made for each other.)


* The "2" after "-n" could be 20 or 50 or whatever. I made it small just 
to make sure it was doing the Right Thing in limiting the number of 
parameters it tried to do on each command.


* The "normal" order of "-dir" and "-acl" has been reversed so that 
"-dir" is on the end. This lets xargs put a bunch of directories on the 
end as the last parameters.


* The "XX" and "YY" are supposed to be the principal and the 
permissions, respectively (like "daniel" and "write").


* This still makes the mistake of traversing AFS volume mount points, 
which can lead to iniquity.

Re: [OpenAFS] Question about disk usage

2006-08-21 Thread Derrick J Brashear 
AFS puts the data where you tell it to. It doesn't distribute the data 
sequentially, or balanced. It puts the data on the partition the volume 
you're writing to is on, and that volume is on the partition you (or your 
admin) put it on.

Hello

I administer an openafs cell for our research group and have two ~170G
partitions assigned for storing user volumes (/vicepa and /vicepb).

I was wondering if AFS distributes the volumes over these two partitions or
just fills them up sequentially. The usage on our server machine shows the
following :

/dev/sda10169G   47G  122G  28% /vicepa
/dev/sda11169G   33M  168G   1% /vicepb

Is this normal or is it a sign of something amiss ?

Thanks.

AFS does not distribute volumes automagically. Neither over partions nor
over servers.

Either you distribute them manually or with a tool. For small
environments manual distibutions is sufficient. (vos move)
If you need a too, the classic old "balencer" tool works fine.
