Everyone I've heard from so far has strongly discourages the use of an inode
fileserver on IRIX 6.5. I think it would be worth considering changing the
default sgi_65 package release to namei. My impression so far is that the only
people using openafs fileservers on IRIX 6.5 build from source because the
current sgi_65 package is not usable as a server. The story is different, I
understand, for earlier IRIX releases...but since there are no official openafs
binary packages for those, it is not relevant to this discussion.
That said, I'm glad to report success compiling 1.4.11 from source with a few
modifications. I compiled it with MIPSPro 7.4.4m on IRIX 6.5.22m and 6.5.29f
using the following commands[1]:
(in the openafs-1.4.11 source dir)
./regen.sh
RANLIB=: CFLAGS="-g3 -D_BSD_COMPAT" CC=c99 \
./configure --disable-pam --enable-namei-fileserver \
--enable-transarc-paths --with-afs-sysname=sgi_65
gmake && gmake dest
Supporting packages used (from Nekoware[2] IRIX software)
neko_krb5, neko_automake, neko_autoconf, neko_make, neko_m4, neko_perl
I hope this is useful to others!
Cheers,
-Chaz
