I haven't found openafs packages for Fedora 12, which was released in November. Does anyone know the plane? Thanks.
Fedora 12 has IMA enabled in its kernel by default. OpenAFS can't currently co-exist with IMA, because IMA fundamentally breaks the core interface that OpenAFS uses it access its disk cache. There is ongoing work to fix this problem in the kernel.
The alternative is that we modify the OpenAFS cache manager to use an alternative, but significantly slower, mechanism for opening files in the cache. This has been done on an experimental basis, but we'd rather not end up having to support two different mechanisms for doing this, if the IMA problem ends up being a short lived blip in kernel development.
