I'm not even sure I'm posting to the right list, but I figure it's worth a try. So I'm trying to use openAFS 1.3.78 under SuSe 9.3 (Linux 2.6 kernel).

I am using the packaged openafs that suse put in 9.3. It is openafs
1.3.78... I had to make some changes the suses configuration scripts,
but it all works fine. I am using the smp kernel as well.

2.6.11.4-20a-smp on a dell precision dual xeon box.

I attempted to compile openafs 1.3.8x, but if the make fails beyond
the ./configure, make, make install, I don't know enough to fix
things. Well, the build failed. Which is why I used the suse openafs
rpms. It was a big enough pain to fix their scripts.

why not just use the suse rpms since they are the same version you
mention above?


I've been getting decent results on SuSE 9.3 running the CVS version of the
OpenAFS kernel module with the SuSE 9.3 supplied rpms.

I set the kernel in /usr/src/linux up to build against by doing a
make cloneconfig
cp /boot/symvers-2.6.11.4-20a-i386-default.gz /usr/src/linux/Module.symver.gz
gunzip /usr/src/linux/Module.symvers.gz
make modules_prepare


I build the kernel module from CVS by doing a CVS update, then running

./regen.sh
./configure --with-linux-kernel-headers=/usr/src/linux --sysconfdir=/etc/openafs
make only_libafs

Then I copy the libafs ko file into /lib/modules/'uname -r`/extra/libafs.ko

I'm curious about what you had to change in the SuSE init scripts? The only changes I had to make to configure were in /etc/sysconfig/afs-client, where I set it to not regenerate cell info
and to use the disk cache. So, I didn't have to change the scripts at all.

cd to my personal afs space (cd /afs/my.cell/myspace) or even when I try and browse my root directory in Konqueror, the system hangs. I'm unable to kill any afs related processes(kill -9 pid) and have to restart the machine to fix it. I have my firewall set to allow udp ports 7000-7009(afs services) 1024-2048(I'm told klog needs these), and 123/tcp(told that ntp uses it). My ThisCell file contains only my cell, and my CellServDB file has been reduced to just the info for that cell, so it shouldn't even be trying other cells, correct? I've been browsing archived mailing lists and forums for days now trying everything I can, but I'm just not sure what is causing this problem. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks a lot.
