Do you just need to run a client?

My first question is: > > When i create the partition do i call it "/vicep" or do i literally > call it "/vicepXX" ? /vicepa Additionally, you should create a seperate /var/cache/openafs partition for the AFS client to use.

Yes, there ARE openafs packages for ubuntu in universe: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/net/openafs-client (They are slightly out of date, but should be enough to at least get you started.) If you do not have universe enabled, edit /etc/apt/sources.lists and uncomment the universe lines and aptitude update; aptitude install openafs-client openafs-modules-source build-essential module-assistant linux-headers-2.6.15-26-server > checking your OS... configure: WARNING: No usable linux headers found > at /usr/src/linux so disabling kernel module linux checking your AFS > sysname... configure: error: Couldn't guess your Linux version. > Please use the --with-afs-sysname option to configure an AFS sysname. > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/sources/openafs-1.4.4# uname -a Linux ubuntu > 2.6.15-26-server #1 SMP Thu Aug 3 04:09:15 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux > > So, how should I proceed on the installation, if I use the switch > --with-afs-sysname, what sysname should I use? i386_linux26 You will need to have kernel headers installed to build the openafs client. But please just install the packages and read the included instructions. Aptitude install linux-headers-2.6.15-26-server will install the kernel headers for your current kernel. > Once the configure is done, what are the next steps to get it up and > running? the documentation for linux assumes I am using the linux > dist not the source so I'm a little lost, if anyone can help me with > a step by step configuration it would be greatly appreciated! Aptitude install openafs-fileserver openafs-dbserver and read the documentation: zless /usr/share/doc/openafs-fileserver/README.servers.gz ----- You can ask specific questions on the #openafs IRC channel on Freenode. <<CDC _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
