We have found that merging the required AFS functionality from vfsck
into the ODS version of fsck was a reasonably straight forward thing
to do.
Obviously, if you are not a Sun source licensee, this won't get
you very far. If enough clients pressure Sun to merge the Transarc
code into ODS-fsck, perhaps this could be a supported reality.
On a side note, I a, spending part of this week trying to add support
for >2GB filesystems on SunOS 4.1.3 into AFS 3.4. Transarc supports
filesystems "as large as the underlying OS", but in the SunOS 4.1.3
case, that limit is still 2GB. If you are using ODS, large
filesystems are possible, but code changes are also necessary.
I'm curious if anyone else has worked on this problem?? Transarc was
suprised when I reported the lak of support as a bug. The deeper I
get into the code, I can see why it wasn't "free".
If/when the code works, I beleive Morgan Stanley will be able to make
the patch to the 3.4 source tree available in the contrib area, if
there is significant interest.
