in explorer or the AFS client.
The Explorer Shell will try to evaluate the contents of each mount
point before displaying the entry. It may be that you simply didn't
give it enough time to do so. I have test directories with more than
10,000 items that are displayed in full and \\afs\andrew.cmu.edu\usr\
is a particularly harsh test case as it is a directory full of
symlinks to mountpoints to volumes
Ok, thanks. It may have been me that were too impatient :-)
- 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)
You aren't running the AFS Servers on Windows.
Ok, is that a requirement to make it working?
In any case, the Server Manager tool is not particularly well
supported and in my opinion not very well designed. Do not make your
evaluation of OpenAFS based upon the existence of this tool unless
you are will to sink development resources or money into its
replacement.
The evaluation has been mainly based on stability and performance, and
that has from our
perspective been no problem :-)
Also, moving volumes do not work, but I get no error message.
``nothing happens''.
The AFS account manager do not start for me at all, it just hangs
with "Querying; please wait...".
The AFS Account Manager is "kaserver" and the tool is designed for
managing the server running on Windows. You are using Heimdal as
your KDC and you are not running the servers on Windows.
Hm, ok.
Is kaserver used if the servers are running on Windows? And would it
be difficult to fix
the account manager to work against any server?
kaserver is not suggested. Kerberos 5 is suggested. Or am I
misunderstanding the question? Seem in an earlier thread you said you
were using Heimdal k5.
The reason I'm asking is that we may want to make use of the ability
for people to create
and maintain their own groups, and that would require something more
user-friendly than
the command-line stuff :-)
There are many ways to do this. We offer a homegrown webbased tool for
acl and group management. Most likely someone on this list already has
something they can offer you. ( Russ ?) . If not I can see what it
would take to send you something.
