Hi have just set-up 2 x ftp servers both using coda to replicate the ftp
contents.
The problem is even though I have followed the how to/admin doc's I am still
having trouble creating the mount for the replication volume.
On giving the command cfs mkmkount /coda/var coda.repl it creates a link
instead of a directory this link also appear on the second non-scm server.
I have read through the mailing list archives and I found a similar problem
where the person simply restart the updatesrv, or rebooted and then the
directory was created. Unfortunately this has not solved the problem.
These are the steps I have followed to get at my present situation.
FreeBSD 4.11
Created raw partitions (non-mounted) for logs and data + created following
mounted as required :
/dev/ad2s1g 992239 18523 894337 2% /vice
/dev/ad2s1h 17315063 6 15929852 0% /vicepa
Used vice-setup & venus-setup on scm and replication server (venus-setup
ftp2,ftp1 40000),
created coda.root with create_vol
Then:
Edited vice/db/VSGB and vice/db/servers on scm (called ftp2)
VSGDB now has three entries, like this:
E0000100 ftp2
E0000101 ftp1
E0000104 ftp2 ftp1
Started all services on both servers through the use of startserver and
venus.
Then on scm:
creatvol_rep coda.root E0000100 /vicepa
creatvol_rep coda.two E0000101 /vicepa
creatvol_rep coda.repl E0000104 /vicepa
Tried to mount coda/ftp :
cfs mkm /coda/ftp coda.repl
But this only created the link :
lrw-r--r-- 1 coda-admin nobody 11 Dec 19 13:53 var -> #coda.repl
Which also then appeared on the non-scm ftp1 server.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
Best regards
Rod
