Re: [OpenAFS] OpenAFS crashes when using it on overlayfs

Hi Michael, I don't know what is going on in detail here. Since the kernel log says something about AFS cache scan before the crash, there might be some issue with your cache partition. If your overlay covers the entire client filesystem, does that include AFS cache as well? Would it be possible

Re: [OpenAFS] Start of afsd fails with "afsd: Error -1 in basic initialization."

Dear Kalle, if you want to use the OpenAFS client implementation, you will need the libafs kernel module from OpenAFS. It is not part of the Linux kernel sources, but most distributions including Ubuntu will build it for you. kafs and af_rxrpc implement an (incomplete?) in-kernel AFS

[OpenAFS] afsd (Linux 3.8.13, OpenAFS 1.6.5) crashes after reboot with reduced cache size

Dear all, to reduce RAM consumption on my AFS clients, I reduced the cache size from 2 blocks to 5000 by setting command line option -blocks. Initially, I did not clear the cache partition before rebooting the machine. After reboot, afsd seemed to hang during its initial

Re: [OpenAFS] Export nfs file system with afs

Dear Christian, neither a native nor an somehow mounted /home can be directly exported using AFS. The AFS file server stores volumes and corresponding folders and files on its /vicepX partitions in an internal format which does not allow re-exporting local or foreign file systems through

Re: [OpenAFS] stackable file system above OpenAFS

Dear Erik, if you don't find a good overlay solution, I'd recommend looking at some tools that prepare (i.e. partition, mount, pre-populate if necessary) local disks during boot. We use oneSIS (http://www.onesis.org/) and are quite happy with this solution. It is a feature-rich tool, but still
