[OpenAFS] VMware and AFS
We are running an Ubuntu server Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS with the OpenAFS 1.4.11 client on a VM guest. This works great except over time the afs client wedges the server - (Ram gets consumed). When this happens we have to do a hard reboot to get it back on line. How many others are running AFS clients on VMware guests? Any issues or suggestions on troubleshooting this?

Do you want RPMs? You can build your own; if you use a couple of patches from the git repository it will even work with RHEL 6. We can tell you how, if you want to go that route.

I wanna know should I mv root.server to /usr/afs , and root.client to /usr/vice ? what about other files ? If you ran ./configure with --enable-transarc-paths, you generally want the stuff in root.client/usr/vice/etc/ to be in /usr/vice/etc/ on your machine. If /usr/vice/etc/ doesn't exist, then just create it. Same for /usr/afs/etc/. The Quick Start Guide assumes you ran with --enable-transarc-paths, I think. The stuff in bin/ and etc/ you can put anywhere in your PATH. Historically it has gone in /usr/afsws/bin and /usr/afsws/etc, but most distributions put them in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. You may want to put the stuff in bin/ in /usr/local/bin/ and etc/ in /usr/local/sbin/. But it's up to you. You mostly likely don't need the stuff in include/ or lib/ or root.perf/ at all. If you did _not_ run ./configure with --enable-transarc-paths, I don't think you want to run 'make dest'. You can just run 'make' and 'make install'. 2. How can I start my afs if all the installation is done ( I did only on one machine right now ), docs instruct me to start bosserver , what's the relation between bosserver and afs ? I did start the bosserver -noauth , at the same time , use the below cmd , but showed wrong info Are you trying to create a new AFS cell, or do you just want to run a client to access other cells? bosserver is the daemon that runs other OpenAFS server daemons; you configure it on cell fileservers and database servers. # /etc/init.d/afs start If you are trying to set up your own cell, you cannot start the client just right after starting bosserver; there are other things you need to set up first. You might be a little confused because the Quick Start Guide I think guides you to set up some client stuff before setting up the server. This is because historically it was necessary to set up some client bits before setting up the server, but on Linux and a few other modern systems you don't need to. I'd say set up the server before bothering with any client stuff at all. That is, I think you want to continue following the guide from here: http://docs.openafs.org/QuickStartUnix/ch02s11.html -- Andrew Deason adea...@sinenomine.net ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

I'd say the best solution is to NOT edit the registry directly to change a profile location. There are some group policy settings to disable windows trying to change permissions on the profile path. I suspect this might be causing problems as Windows does not know how to set AFS permissions and if this attempt fails, Windows reverts to a local profile. Also, you might need to set at least system:anyuser l on the folder so that the computer itself (without AFS credentials) can see that the folder exists before trying to use it as a profile path. I am not sure about that though. CDC ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

Re: [OpenAFS] VMware and AFS
We are running AFS as both servers and clients under a combination of vmware products. We have 3 AFS servers running under ESXi. Our student UNIX login servers are also running under ESXI and are running the client. Both have worked flawlessly. I am also running a fourth AFS server under VMWare fusion, and its been running flawlessly as well (it was just tricky to have it startup at boot). We use VMWare workstation / fusion for a number of courses, and each have AFS client installed. Again, students use those in a variety of abusive ways and it has worked fine. We *were* using 8.10 on our servers - so I wasn't using 8.04. You may want to look to ensure that your cache settings on the clients aren't set to use memory, that can make things pretty slow - esp. since VMWare places game with the guest's physical memory and how its actually allocated. My intuition is that the memory cache would reduce performance for the virtual machine. -tom On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 9:03 AM, Steve Devine s...@msu.edu wrote: We are running an Ubuntu server Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS with the OpenAFS 1.4.11 client on a VM guest.

Re: [OpenAFS] aklog: ktc 7 error using OpenAFS for windows
More information on our problem with WIndows 7 (64 bit) OpenAFS 1.5.77 I have several students who have successfully installed OpenAFS on Windows 7 and have it working at least for while, although some said that in order to avoid VERY VERY LONG (*) waits on login, they had to un-install and then install first 32 bit and then 64 bit. (Others said this doesn't work. It's very confusing.) BTW: The VERY LONG WAIT happens even if one checks prevent OPENAFS from running on startup) (*) VERY VERY LONG may be forever; the user has to ctrl-alt-delete to get their desktop to start. We've waited 15 minutes before giving up. The question was whether the problem was only after a network change. It is true that the one remaining student who cannot use OpenAFS with Windows 7 is using a wireless service that requires a login AFTER connecting, but as it happens AFS is completely broken even before logging in to the wireless system. (NB: The other person who had ktc 7 error gave up after two weeks of attempts and installed Ubuntu.) NET VIEW \\AFS hangs for about 5 minutes and then reports: System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found This happens BEFORE connecting to the wireless network, AND AFTER connecting and AFTER getting tickets with NIM. nbstat is not found as an executable, so I wasn't able to run nbstat -S NIM does say that the AFS client service is running.
