If the fileserver is running, put a volume on it. "vos create -help" Mount the volume. (fs mkmount -help) cd to the mount point. client reads mount point, asks vlserver where new volume is located. vlserver looks up volname, returns location, which is a vice partition on the new fileserver.

Take a look at ports in use -- we've seen this on a Solaris box running some sort of RAID management utility and IBM/Transarc AFS -- it was using 2040/tcp -- turns out the volserver talks to the fileserver on this port ... FSYNC_clientInit comes from fileserver/volserver talking to each other abou

ready on the ACL there's no need to issue "fs sa system:anyuser none" I was thinking that "system:anyuser" might already be in place on some of your ACLs. I'm not sure what you intend when you mention "upper mounts" ?? Kim > Dexter Kimball

Try udebug 7004 How many servers are mentioned in the output? You should have only one server listed in your /usr/afs/etc/CellServDB file, and the only cell in that file should be yours. IIRC "udebug" should say, if configured this way, something like "I'm sync site forever, single DB server"

WRT fileserver -- what are you using to synch clocks? xntp, the NTP wrapper from IBM/Transarc AFS? Something else? WRT client -- you can disable time synch by using "-nosettime" on the afsd command line in your startup sequence. Usage: /usr/vice/etc/afsd [-blocks <1024 byte blocks in cache>]
