Re: [OpenAFS] error in compiling openafs 1.6.24 on CentOS 8.3
Hi Giovanni, I did the migration with hardware replacement and distribution upgrade over several weeks in March this year. Everything went fluently taking these steps: original: 3x 1.6.22.1 intermediate: 2x 1.6.22.1 + 1x 1.8.7 intermediate: 1x 1.6.22.1 + 2x 1.8.7 final : 3x 1.8.7 And as you mentioned "akeyconvert -all" for each migrated server.

Thank you Jeff, useful information as always! For our production cell we must decide if upgrade all the cell to 1.8.x (a lot of work to be doneo but we have to schedulee that now or then) or remain with CentOS 7.x also for the most recent fileservers.
