To re-phrase your steps...in the most general way: 1) You make your /vicepa partition on the server you are setting up, just like the way you would make any unix partition on the system.
2) You use the 'vos create' command on that same server in order to create a the AFS volume with the name "root.afs". It will be a small volume. It will reside on your new "/vicepa" partition that you created in step 1 above. That's the general idea for creating the initial AFS volume on an initial AFS server you are setting up for the first time....once you have a functioning cell, it all gets easier....8-) Anne --- On Sun, 10/25/09, Sriram Subramanian <[email protected]> wrote: From: Sriram Subramanian <[email protected]> Subject: [OpenAFS] afs root partition creation issue To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, October 25, 2009, 5:01 PM Hi, Im trying to understand the functioning of the AFS protocol and so I'm trying to set up an AFS client and server machine inside our lab. One of the steps require us to setup the afs root partition using the "vos create" command. I have setup a partition at /viceaa and then issued the command $vos create <machine_name> /viceaa root.afs -cell <cellname> -noauth vos: could not interpret partition name '/viceaa' Any help would be much appreciated.
