Hej Ragge! > Test environment has been Heimdal 1.0 + OpenAFS 1.4.5, servers Redhat 4 (Dell > 1950) > and Solaris 10 (Sun V880). Clients was Redhat and for Windows (using 1.5.28). On Sol10, which file system do you have for /vicepX? I recommend running the namei version of the server (which is not default to historical reasons) because that makes it underlying-file-system-agnostic. > - What are the actual limitations on users/groups/volumes/sizes?

The only place where you want many mountpoints is /home and we have solved that through /afs/pdc.kth.se/home/h/haba, others have used /afs/kth.se/home/h/a/haba and so on. > - A few problems with the windows manager tools were also noted, it may be > just me that > haven't really understand how it all works :-) > In the server manager; running salvager failed with the error messages: > The AFS server manager was unable to perform the requested salvage > operation. > Error: unable to successfully read log file (0x0000422A) I think I can figure out what's wrong if you describe what you really tried to do :) > Also, moving volumes do not work, but I get no error message. ``nothing > happens''. That is probably some setup error, but setup can be a bit hairy because of the documentation that does not exist. > I must say that we are all very impressed of how well it has worked so far! > Great! *smile* Harald. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
