Cachesize is how much diskspace the client should use on the local disk.
In the order of 20000 - 100000 diskblocks (20MB - 100MB) is probably a
good choice. Oh, and this is only an `indication', Coda only detects the
filesize when a file is closed, so newly created files will overflow
the cache. Also as a safety net, when a client is logging operations
(working disconnected or write-disconnected), it dumps modified files in
a tar compatible archive on disk. The admin password is probably still
`changeme', you can change it with 'au -h <server> cp', or cpasswd.
Maybe it is easiest to verify the client setup by connecting to the
testserver.
# venus-setup testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu 40000
# venus
And when it says /coda is mounted, in another window
$ ls /coda
To connect to you own server, kill the running venus, unmount /coda,
reconfigure venus for you own server, and start:
# vutil shutdown (or kill -TERM `pidof venus`)
# umount /coda
# venus-setup <server name> 40000
# venus
If you fail to connect to your own server, check that all the necessary
servers are running,
# ps auxwww | grep rpc2portmap # these 3 are necessary to
# ps auxwww | grep updateclnt # create new volumes
# ps auxwww | grep updatesrv
# ps auxwww | grep auth2 # authentication (logging in)
# ps auxwww | grep codasrv # the actual file server
Check the server logs:
/vice/srv/SrvLog
/vice/srv/SrvErr
Then check if it has a rootvolume
cat /vice/db/ROOTVOLUME # should have a single volume name
cat /vice/vol/VRList # should have this volume name too
cat /vice/vol/VolumeList # here is it volumename.0

My own experience is, slightly slower in connected mode, a lot faster
(and more unstable) when write-disconnected. A lot of the w/d
instabilities did get fixed in 5.3.1.
