Re: [OpenAFS] Re: afsd.fuse usage?

[Matt W. Benjamin]

Hi,

Dunno.  My fuse ukernel is pretty old, and worked.  From the src, afs_root() is 
failing.  Might be an issue with the supplied dirs?  I would at this point 
build with full debugging and trace into it.

Re: [OpenAFS] Re: afsd.fuse usage?

[Matt W. Benjamin]

Hi Troy,

When I just recently used fuse UKERNEL I did the following:

  afsd.fuse -memcache -mountdir /fafs -cachedir /vcache -d

and got initial results.  I haven't worked much with it yet, but the cm started 
and responded to vfsops.

It used to be the case that demand-attach was a compile-time option, and
if you upgraded to a file server built with demand-attach, you had to do
one-time upgrade tasks.  But 1.6 ships a regular fileserver and a separate
demand-attach fileserver, so this is no longer the case.

uh. fileserver? can't think of anything. dbservers need to be all at

What version? Some things used to have problems with volume IDs over
2147483648 but I thought we've fixed them all by now.



On this particular node we run 1.4.6, but it varies between servers.


Note the big diff in volume id's. The id's starting with 536 are
normal for my cell, the 2620... I have never seen before.

Something bumped the "max volume id" counter in the vldb by a large
number. This could happen in many different ways... unfortuntely, if you
don't have the logging level turned up in the vlserver or have audit
logs turned on, it's going to be difficult to determine what did it. Do
you run any kind of periodic checking for consistency of volumes vs vldb
or anything like that?



Hmmm, yes we do. We have a nagios check running on all servers that does
a "vos syncserv "$server" -d" and "vos syncvldb "$server" -dryrun"
periodically. I guess you are implying I shouldn't do that...

Although I don't have experience with OpenAFS servers on Debian, I am
currently running with three 1.4.14 servers and one 1.6.0 server running
DAFS. All are on CentOS. Moving volumes back and forth between 1.4 and 1.6
servers seems to work fine, and everything else seems to  "just work" too.
The only special thing I had to do was remember to use a different "bos
create" syntax to use DAFS.

Perhaps your the other admin was referring to this page about "Converting a
Fileserver to DAFS" - http://docs.openafs.org/QuickStartUnix/apcs04.html

[OpenAFS] Upgrade OpenAFS 1.4.12 to 1.6 fileservers, ok?

[Lars Schimmer]

Hello

As one of the admins bedie us told me, there needs something special to 
be taken care of while updating 1.4.12 Debian OpenAFS fileserver to 1.6, 
I just want to ask here.
On webpage and in release note I did not seen anything about to take of, 
neither do I remember.

But did I miss something?

Can I just upgrade one of my three server for a test and let it run with 
2 1.4.x fileservers?


Thank you.

MfG,
Lars Schimmer
