Well, that's definitely broken. Use of -localauth shouldn't have affected this; it should figure out what the cell is from /etc/openafs/ThisCell and then look up the servers from /etc/openafs/CellServDB and it sounds like it's not doing that properly. Well, I've not seen this problem

However, that doesn't help you if you insist on passing explicit values on the command line, as is done by the startup scripts included with several of the binary packages. Yes, that's exactly my point. I would like to see the platform maintainers remove these overrides. I have done so

So just be be 100% clear, to turn autotune on, all you need to do is start up afsd without any of these options: -stat, -dcache, -daemons, -volumes, -chucksize? That's right. You can find out what the values got auto-tuned to with cmdebug -cache. Does auto-tuning work only for disk
