So my question is: Does anybody run afs on sparc64 Linux?
I don't think so. I thought I was the last one when I ran SuSE on an Ultra 1 2 years or so ago. Back then, I made some ugly patches to the arla source which probably did not make it into the distro. You can find it here /afs/stacken.kth.se/ftp/pub/arla/random-patches/suse-sparc64-0.35.patch or at the correspondnding location in ftp but you'll have to work it into current arla yourself.
Derrick Brashear runs OpenAFS on sparc64 (Kernel 2.4.24 AFAIK) on at least one system with Debian but maybe he's not monitoring the list so closely on this weekend.
Don't beat me, Derrick, for this :-))
I have no idea how he did it but he never talked swearing about his SPARCs ... and I'm pretty sure (about 101%) he compiled OpenAFS himself.
If so, how did you do it?
When I did it I was constantly swearing about the lack of coordiantion
between the different architecture trees in the Linux kernel. There
is not even a .h file describing the pointer type in the sys_call_table*
It was very frustrating. I don't know why I expose myself to this
kind of stuff ;-)
you're right about that one ...
PS: <teasing> If you run a lot of Gnome and KDE stuff on your Solaris 9 or 10, will you notice the difference? </teasing>
