Hi Achim,
Personally, I'd just shitcan the whole thing and start over from
scratch. I completely redid my Coda setup a few times (rm -r /vice;
/usr/local/sbin/vice-setup) before I got it working sort of like how I
wanted it. And even if you were to get it to work now, would you
really trust it after hacking around so much?
I have started from scratch again. I have installed the os again. And
now I have been able to setup three servers in one realm. Thanks a lot
for your advice here.
But now I have some further question on the replication.
I have done everything nearly as you have written. My /vice/db/servers
looks like that:
# cat servers
clusty1.mytest.de 1
clusty2.mytest.de 2
clusty3.mytest.de 3
And the /vice/db/vicetab
# cat vicetab
clusty1.mytest.de /vicepa ftree width=256,depth=3
clusty2.mytest.de /vicepa ftree width=256,depth=3
clusty3.mytest.de /vicepa ftree width=256,depth=3
The client is connected:
# ctokens
Tokens held by the Cache Manager for root:
@mytest.de
Coda user id: 500

I stopped with your advice after the client setup. I haven't created any
volumes. So I wonder now, if the /coda/mytest.de/ is now replicated over
those three servers or not?
I have created /vicepa for every server with a size of 9000MB and a ext2
filesystem on it.
If it is not replicated - Is it the right way if I am using the /vicepa,
which was created on every server during setup, for the replication volume?
for example:
createvol_rep testrepvol clusty1.mytest.de/vicepa
clusty2.mytest.de/vicepa clusty3.mytest.de/vicepa
I have done this already during the last setup, but I was confused then
a bit, because with
# cfs listvol /coda/mytest.de/
and
# cfs listvol /coda/mytest.de/mountpoint
It seems to be the same partition (blocks available). The superuser is
able to store files on /coda/mytest.de/ (the root directory). I am
confused a bit about that. Is the /coda/mytest.de/ also replicated?
Is it the best way to setup only volumes under
/coda/mytest.de/<myvolume-mountpoint> and not to put files directly there?
thanks,
Achim
