Re: [OpenAFS] volumes in different cells

Hello,

I still have some trouble accessing volumes in a cell.

When I use the windows client and map a drive ("drive letters" tab)

I use :
Drive letter: Drive K:
AFS Path: \afs\csc.depauw.edu\home\cowboy
Description: csc-cowboy

this drive will just work.

This creates a SMB submount (share) called "csc-cowboy" under the AFS server which maps to the
path /afs/csc.depauw.edu/home/cowboy

The mount point used from the "root.afs" volume is "csc.depauw.edu"

When I map another drive :
Drive letter: Drive L:
AFS Path: \afs\afs-2.csc.depauw.edu\home\cowboy
Description: afs2-cowboy

this drive won't work

This creates a submount (share) called "afs2-cowboy" under the AFS server which maps to the
path /afs/afs-2.csc.depauw.edu/home/cowboy

The mount point used from the "root.afs" volume is "afs-2.csc.depauw.edu"

in cmd.exe
DIR K: gives me a correct directory listing

you have a working mount point for "csc.depauw.edu"

DIR L:
The system cannot find the file specified.

You do not have a working mount point for "afs-2.csc.depauw.edu"

Any ideas where to start looking for what is wrong ?
(in case it is a problem with the 2nd cell (afs-2.csc.depauw) then where can I
find what I did wrong ?)

btw:

OK                     \\afs\csc-cowboy          Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.

When I use "fs mkmount" to create a mountpoint :
\\afs\all\afs2-cowboy instead of \\afs\afs-cowboy then things seem to work.

You cannot create a mount point as "\\AFS\submount". You have not specified a directory name
to be used for the mount point. All you have done is specified a directory within which the mount
point should be created.

In the above table "csc-cowboy", "afs2-cowboy", and "all" are submount (share) names not mount points.
