My understanding is that the translator currently does not work on Linux. (I do believe it works on Solaris.) > Basically, I'm looking for read-only access, in > situations where it's either > inconvenient or impossible to compile the AFS kernel > modules; I have a couple > of systems where the module compiles OK, but doesn't > load. (Namely OpenSUSE > 11.1, using packages from build.opensuse.org) We use UNFS3 (http://unfs3.sf.net/) for this exact purpose, exporting to a number of old-school Unix systems. I added proper AFS FID support to it recently, so that its filehandle cache plays well with AFS. We run it via kstart so that it keeps the tickets/tokens required to read what it needs out of AFS. I've been meaning to send a note about this to the list, to let folks know about this new AFS->NFS option on Linux. If any AFS gurus could have a peek at afssupport.c in the codebase, I would be grateful for any feedback on the implementation. --Daniel _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
