I have a bunch of questions.
1. When AFS mounts volumes in a physical partition, what happens to the partition itself? I don't see any "files" that correspond in size to the data stored on the partition. Can I make, say, a partition image and still have the data, or do I have to use AFS native tools to do all the backups?
Here's an example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] vicepa $ ls -li
total 36
65537 drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jan 20 20:47 AFSIDat
32769 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Jan 19 21:11 Lock
12 -rw------- 1 root root 76 Jan 19 21:12 V0536870912.vol
13 -rw------- 1 root root 76 Jan 20 16:57 V0536870915.vol
14 -rw------- 1 root root 76 Jan 20 20:16 V0536870918.vol
11 drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jan 18 23:00 lost+found
[EMAIL PROTECTED] vicepa $
There is data in those volumes (certainly more than 76 blocks worth). I presume the volume files are just metadata?
2. Can other processes write files to the partition, or is that a bad idea (not that I'm planning to, but the answer will help me understand better)?
3. Must the partition be called /vicepx(x), or can I name it whatever I like?
Cheers,
-Stephen-
