Thanks for all the help. Ran afs-newcell, got tokens as the admin, and ran afs-rootvol and the whole process seems to have concluded successfully. Thanks for the very helpful scripts. I will be studying the logs to see how this process differed from my prior attempt.
Your excellent README then suggests that the AFS admin guide be consulted. I looked at : http://grand.central.org/twiki/bin/view/AFSLore/InstallingtheFirstAFSMachine#Storing_AFS_Binaries_in_AFS which suggests that AFS related binaries be stored in the AFS filespace under its own volume (sysname = i486_linux24 for me). Now, under Debian, the AFS binaries are dumped into /usr/bin, indistinct from other system binaries. So, what is the recommended policy for Debian ? Second question : In a previous incarnation, this server was a simple Linux server where a bunch of users had some files stored in /home/username. Prior to my setting up the OpenAFS server, I had backed these up to another server (not running OpenAFS) under /backup/username. I was wondering if there is a certain method to be followed in restoring these for use. Right now, I can see the following steps : 1. Create a user group under pts. 2. Add all the users to the user group. 3. Unknown. PS : How does one set quotas for the users ? Thanks. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
