Hello, I am currently working on a hybrid backup system for AFS in Python. At the moment, my ability to interact with AFS servers is limited to running vos and bos commands in a subshell; I would like to change that. Therefore, I'd like to ask if: - there is any documentation for the library, ap

2007-03-30 Thread GABRIEL KAPITANY
Hi, I'm trying to migrate users from one afs server, version 1.2.11 to another one version, 1.4.2. Is there a way to export the kaserver user list and paswords and import it into the other server. I've tried to copy kaserver.DB0 to the new server but this won't work properly. Any suggestion ?

I think what I'm going to try then today is plug a spare SATA hard drive into the SR1520, set it up as a raid0, let the CLN pick it up, and designate it as swap (or I guess I could use LVM and do the same?) and see if that fixes things as well. If so, then the simplest thing to instruct CLN us
