afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(2)
errno 2 is ENOENT. Does /afs exist?
I have in CellServeDB not only my cell definitions but also of other world cells. Does that clash with the -afsdb or -dynroot flag? Actually, would someone tell me what these two do exactly?
-afsdb enables support for finding database servers for a cell by looking for an AFSDB record in the DNS. This is done only for cells for which there is _not_ local configuration information provided by the CellServDB or using 'fs newcell'.
-dynroot causes the cache manager to use a dynamically-generated root volume, rather than one provided by some fileserver. The dynamic root contains both RO and RW mount points for every known cell (configured through CellServDB, fs newcell, or discovered via AFSDB lookup), and symbolic links for aliases defined in the CellAlias file or using fs newalias.
When afsdb and dynroot support are both enabled, /afs also behaves something like an automounter. If you try to look up a name that's not there, the cache manager will query for an AFSDB record and, if one is found, configure the new cell and add it to /afs.
