Re: [OpenAFS] salvaging volumes destroys data
Hi, > Hmm, I wonder if this really is a salvager problem. Did you compile with GCC > 4.2.x? If yes, try recompiling with 4.1.x. See > http://www.nabble.com/Strange-access-problems-on-one-client-to12112808.html Ubuntu 7.10 amd64 uses gcc-4.1 and the volume or at least the damaged files where not accessible from anywhere else. I now disabled ecryptfs for /vicepa and it seems to work. However I couldn't reproduce it yet but the volumes where inaccessible very fast before. Btw, has somebody got a clue, what could be damaged by ecryptfs so that VAttachVolume: Error reading largeVnode vol header happens? In my opinion too, it isn't a salvager problem, because some files where not readable after copying into /afs. This files themself still exist in /vicepa/AFSIDat/* and could be restored from there.

[OpenAFS] perpetual Connection timed out
On a few of our clients (running 1.4.1), we sometimes get "Connection timed out" with a single volume. Other volumes on the same server are unaffected. When this happens, the client never seems to recover on its own except through a reboot. This is unfortunately not very repeatable, but it seems to happen occasionally when I mistakenly remove mounts and put them back. Is there a way for me force the client to try to connect to the server again?

[OpenAFS] Mac OSX Finder drag-and-drop failures
Hi, I recently ran into a problem with the Mac OSX Finder and AFS, which was frustratingly difficult to pin down to any particular configuration or circumstances. The Finder would not allow _any_ file dragging out of AFS (circle-slash icon), regardless of destination. Files could be opened by double-clicking, and copied with command line tools, and the Finder would drag files up to AFS (given appropriate tokens and ACLs). I found this on three different systems, all previously working fine. With a few reboots and restarts of the AFS client, I could get two of them working again, at least temporarily. I tried changing the afsd options and CellServDB but nothing seemed to make a difference (I usually run with -afsdb and a null CellServDB - I only need to see my local cell). It seemed to have no relation to ACLs or tokens. MacOS OS 10.4.11 OpenAFS versions tried: 1.4.4, 1.4.5, 1.5.28 [ The reason I needed this was to copy some Mac-created files out of AFS, which had such pathological names that none of the command line tools (cp, tar, ditto) would succesfully get them all - but I can't blame AFS for that ] I strongly suspect that this started happening with some relatively recent OSX system update, but I've got no older system images to test on. They are all 10.4.latest Anyone else seen similar behaviour ?

[OpenAFS] New to OpenAFS
Hello, I'm new to OpenAFS and was hoping if the community could help me determine if it would be a good fit for my company. We are approx 150 people, with 50 home users and the rest in small offices of about 10-15 people. I would like to have a main file server that everyone can access, but also departmental servers in offices that would allow people to save files quickly (without going over the WAN). In my dream scenario, I would have one main server in our data center that stores everything and is backed up. Each office would have a server that acts as a caching server. These servers would cache specific folders that are often used by the people in that specific office...any times changes are made, it is saved on that server and then transferred to the main server in the background. This would allow users in branch offices to have fast access to files and not have to wait for WAN transfers. And would prevent the admin team from backing up every department's server. Is this possible with OpenAFS? I read something about a Samba/OpenAFS gateway, would this be required? Or are there other products that you think might be a better fit? Also, is the windows desktop client used a lot of most deployments? How reliable is this?

First of all, please forgive me for posting to your mailing list without first subscribing to it. Secondly, please CC me on your replies since I am not subscribed :) My question, is, if you build GNU findutils on your system, do the -xdev option and the -fstype test work on AFS (you might test findutils-4.4.0, for example)? Does the patch described at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2004-10/msg00026.html and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=143111 (sorry if the changes don't work as well as they might have done, they were written some years ago, the original bug submitter was unresponsive). If you are in a mood to test things though, is oldfind's -noleaf option needed to correctly search AFS filesystems? (without it, find assumes that directories with a link count of 2 have no subdirectories). Thanks for any feedback, James (GNU findutils maintainer). ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

The main problem with AFS on the iPhone is that programs are limited

programs). So an OpenAFS project on the iphone is probably feasible,
and you could bring over files onto the iPhone, but no other programs

It does provide a unified way to manage fileserver in different locations. He is one possible way to use OpenAFS with WAN-connected offices: Each office has a fileserver. all employees have a home directory and access to shared directories. Each employee's home directory would be located on the fileserver for their office. Here is an sample file tree: /afs/example.com/home/alice /afs/example.com/home/bob /afs/example.com/home/charlie /afs/example.com/home/david /afs/example.com/shared/new_york /afs/example.com/shared/chicago /afs/example.com/shared/procedures In this example, alice & bob are in new york and charlie & david are in chicago. Anyone at any office can login to AFS and see any of the file from any site. Alice & Bob's files are located on a server in new york and charlie & david's files are on the server in chicago. In addition, the shared folders for new_york & chicago on servers in their respective cities as well. The procedures directory is on a server in the HQ in Atlanta with read-only replicas in all offices. The replicas are only updated when an IT admin runs a command to refresh the Read-only copies. Anyone modifying the files can read the read-write copies in Atlanta by looking in /afs/.example.com/shared/procedures, but the changes are only copied to all sites when the the IT admin says so. Each night/week, copies of the data from the new_york and chicago offices are copied to the central servers in Atlanta. (a scripted vos copy) Access to files is fast because location-specified data is at each office. company-wide read-only data has a copy in each office and the local cache on each client caches copies of any fetched data. The best part is that no one needs to be notified if data is shuffled around. For example, the Albany office man not be big enough to need a server and just uses the new_york server, but they still have an "albany" shared folder. When the albany office grows, you can set up a server there and move the volumes from new_york to albany without changing the paths to the files because it's all transparent to the user. An added benefit is that alice's data can be moved to Atlanta when she get relocated but the path won't change. You can get a feel for the speed of AFS by installing an AFS client and browsing around some cells like openafs.org. There is no need for the samba/AFS gateway. Just install OpenAFS clients on all of the machines. The windows client is very reliable. At my work, we have over 1000 windows XP desktops running the OpenAFS clients with 10+ servers, 100 solaris desktops, 20 Linux desktops, and 3TB of data which we plan to expand to 10TB this year.

Kim Jason Edgecombe wrote: Robert Banz wrote: AFS can't really cause "san issues" in that it's just another application using your filesystem. In some cases, it can be quite a heavy user of such, but since its only interacting through the fs, its not going to know anything about your underlying storage fabric, or have any way of targeting it for any more badness than any other filesystem user. One of the big differences that would effect the filesystem IO load that occurred between 1.4.1 & 1.4.6 was the removal functions that made copious fsync operations. These operations were called in fileserver/volserver functions that modified various in-volume structures, specifically file creations and deletions, and would lead to rather underwhelming performance when doing vos restores, deleting, or copying large file trees. In many configurations, this causes the OS to pass on a call to the underlying storage to verify that all changes written have been written to *disk*, causing the storage controller to flush its write cache. Since this defeats many of the benefits (wrt I/O scheduling) on your storage hardware of having a cache, this could lead to overloaded storage. Some storage devices have the option to ignore these calls from devices, assuming your write cache is reliable. Under UFS, I would suggest that you'd be running in 'logging' mode when using the namei fileserver on Solaris, as yes, fsck is rather horrible to run. Performance on reasonably recent versions of ZFS were quite acceptable as well. I can confirm Robert's observations. I recently tested openafs 1.4.1 inode vs 1.4.6 namei on solaris 9 sparc with a Sun Storedge 3511 Expansion tray fibre channel device. The difference is stagerring with vos move and such.

Re: [OpenAFS] New to OpenAFS
Jason, Thanks so much for clarifying things, for the majority of users I think this will solve a lot of file sharing issues. Most of our locations are dedicated to a specific department, so traffic will stay on the local network. I do have a few additional questions if you don't mind... - Our accounting group is distributed with a equal amount of people in NY, NC & LA. Right now they all connect to our server (WebDAV, Oracle Content Services) in NY. It is great for the NY users, but slow for others. Is there anyway to make an accounting folder available for fast access in multiple locations? Is there anyway to have read/write clones? If your example, you say that the read/write copy is accessible via: "/afs/.example.com/shared/procedures". This is different than "/afs/example.com/shared/procedures". Just wanted to confirm that it isn't a typo... - Have you integrated your OpenAFS server into an LDAP or Directory server? We are planning to run Samba with an OpenLDAP backend for our domain. Is this possible? I haven't been able to find my documentation about this. We are actually starting fresh, so we are open to any directory system as long as we can have other other apps authenticate via LDAP. - Lastly, when users are connecting to AFS do they need to only be able to contact one AFS server? Or contact others? For example, do the LA users need to talk to the NY server? Or do they talk to the LA server and the LA server handles interaction with NY?

[OpenAFS] nautilus on RHEL4
Hi, all.
Nautilus on rhel4 (and prolly other os'es/distros), is somewhat broke w.r.t.
openafs. Like the Mac finder, Nautilus looks at the unix mode bits to make
access decisions for files and folders.
Nautilus also ignores the umask when creating files (but not folders) on rhel4.
So, I patched up nautilus to fix/workaround these two issues.
The srpm and rpm (i386) for rhel4 are in:
/afs/cnf.cornell.edu/shares/public/outside_users/openafs
Since I didn't do actual patch files (and edit the spec file to apply them),
here's the two fixes/workarounds:
1. umask
Fnct nautilus_file_operations_new_file() in nautilus-file-operations.c , add
the following code at line 2406:
/* Create file with correct perms */
mask = umask (0);
umask(mask);
fchmod(fd, 0666&(0777-mask));
2. afs
Fnct nautilus_file_denies_access_permission() in nautilus-file.c, add the
following code at line 692:
/* If in afs, return FALSE */
if (strstr(file->details->directory->details->uri, "/afs") != NULL) {
return FALSE;
}
