Hi Chris, Tks for replying so fast. Maybe I am not so clear with openafs's concept and I find the openafs guide not really so updated and clear. I execute the commands as you has re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# vos listaddrs afs1.ben.muveenet afs2.ben.muveenet
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# vos partinfo afs1.ben.muveenet Free space on partition /vicepa: 711420 K blocks out of total 734684 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# vos partinfo afs2.ben.muveenet Free space on partition /vicepa: 948956 K blocks out of total 983080 I am trying to attain high availability as well as creating a big distributed storage space (hopefully it can reach 30-40 Tera) with many low-end servers. I've created the 1st afs server with home directory and the users can login and access their home folder without any problems. But I'm a bit lost on how should I further expand to afs2, afs3 and so on. If I create a home directory for my users on afs1, do I need to create the exact directory on my afs2? Appreciate for the all the help given.

You are asking the wrong question ;-) diskfree shows how much space is left of your quota and the partition your volume is in (and only the rw-version, iirc). You can ask: "vos listaddrs" to show all your fileserver names. And then "vos partinfo $server" for each server. > Must I perform another step or the storage space should automatically > combine once it sync? There is no command "give me all the available space on all of my afs servers". You need to write a little script for that. So space does not combine or sum up. Adding a fileserver is a very simple task: * Install server binaries * create /vicepXX-partitions * start upclient (or copy ThisCell, CellServDB and afs.key to your new server) * start fs-service (bos create fs fs ... - like on the first machine) > Is there any guide out there to help me? It's a bit out of date, but the general steps are still the same http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/QuickStartUnix/auqbg006.htm Chris -- Mitarbeiter an der TU Chemnitz, Fak.f.
