Hello,
I've been struggling with AFS configuration at our institute for a
long time. And so far unsuccessfully. I hope some of you guys could
help me. I'd really appreciate it.
The problem is the following. After starting up afsd, login on my
local machine and obtaining an AFS ticket, I can see just some of
files at AFS:
~> tokens
Tokens held by the Cache Manager:
User's (AFS ID 2177) tokens for [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Expires Oct 10 13:16]
--End of list--

It is really weird. The file background.ps was copied to AFS by me
from my local machine. Directly after the copy, I could list and even
edit the file. Then, on a different machine a played a bit with my AFS
files (just move public directory contents there and back). And after
that, ls run on my machine gives background.ps with those ?????
I do not know whether this is a misconfiguration problem or a bug. Has
someone experienced behavior like this?
Is there a way how to dubug AFS? I tried to pass -logfile argument to
afsd, but I was told it is an obsolete option with no effect...
I run AFS daemon as
/usr/bin/afsd -daemons 2 -dcache 100 -stat 300 -volumes 50
(the parameters are very similar to those which are used at public
machines at my institute). Now I'm running with ext3 cache, but before
I tried also ext2. And still the same. I suspect (but I don't really
know how to verify) the AFS servers to run an older version of AFS
than 1.4.4. May that be of importance?
Thank you very much for any hint.
Cheers, Jan Kašpar.
