Hi,
I am fairly new to afs and doing a lowsy job of installing it.
I am using afs 3.4a release 11/98, and trying to install it on a vanilia
solaris 26 system. I ran into a minor problem with the bosserver running
in "-noauth" mode durring the initial install: all of the bos commands
that I gave would core dump, but I got around that by explicitly specifying
"-noauth" at the end of every command. Is this normal for having the
bosserver in "-noauth" mode, because they don't mention it in the install
guide?
Anyway, the larger problem is that I cannot create the root volume.
With the machine "starchild" as the server, I run the following command:
# vos create starchild /vicepa root.afs -noauth
[which returns]
Failed to create the volume root.afs 536870912
: I/O error
Error in vos create command. : I/O error
[ and logs to /usr/afs/logs/VolserLog]
Mon Jan 18 12:36:32 1999: 1 Volser: CreateVolume: Unable to create
the volume; aborted, error code 104
: Error 104
Looking up error 104 in /usr/include/afs/errors.h I find:
#define VVOLEXISTS 104 /* Volume already exists */
Which, sure enough, the volume is partially created:
# vos listvol starchild -noauth
Total number of volumes on server starchild partition /vicepa: 1
**** Could not attach volume 536870912 ****
Total volumes onLine 0 ; Total volumes offLine 1 ; Total busy 0
So I am looking for any help and/or pointers as to how I can correctly
create the root cell ( or subsequent volumes for that matter). If someone
could tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be most greatful.
Also, being new to afs, I don't know what relevant configs to send,
so please let me know if there is anything else that I should include.
Last, I am finding it very difficult to RTFM for this. The install
instructions keep mentioning an administrators manual, but I cannot for
the life of me, find it. Any hints?
Thanks in advance...
