Hi Andrew, partly good news: I have it working now using the ktutil method, at least for one example user. However, in order to be useful for cron jobs acessing OpenAFS file systems, I guess that the keytab file must reside on either a non-AFS file system (e.g. native ext3, xfs, etc.) in a

Hi Everyone, I know this is bad practice to have the AFS cache folder on a shared partition with the rest of the system, but what are the caveats of having the AFS be on an ext3 filesystem in Linux, which is shared by the rest of the system? I mean, besides filling the partition that AFS uses

There are a number of issues that you will encounter. Firstly, as you note, there is a danger of the root disk filling. The reserved percentage won't help with this - a user process could fill 95% of the disk, and the remaining 5% still not be large enough for the AFS cache. Sadly, the Unix
