I'm attempting to get OpenAFS-1.5.xx running with Linux, in order to gain disconnect/reconnect capability on a laptop. I normally run 1.4.11 or 1.4.12_pre for normal use. (Running 1.4.12_pre to get something that will work with a 2.6.33-rc kernel.)
I've made 3 stabs at it so far. (By the way, on 2.6.33-rc8 with Gentoo Linux) 1.5.69 built OK, but segfaulted as soon as I tried to start the client daemon. 1.5.71 built OK and started OK, but results were horribly inconsistent. Sometimes I could klog and get a token, sometimes not. I never saw /afs properly mounted with content. I had the most success with 1.5.72. It built, started, and mounted /afs. I could see my home directory and another departmental directory over which I have control. That departmental directory had several mount points directly under it, and I could see those, as well. It also had a directory "Data" and several mount points, "dataN" (for several values of N) and I could NOT see those, no mount point, no data, nothing. I also tried "fs discon -offline" and indeed got offline, with anticipated data visiblity. But when I tried "fs discon -online" I was told as both root (no token) and myself (with token) that I didn't have enough authority. I've not doubt that some of these problems are of my own making, but haven't see a lot of discussion of OpenAFS-1.5 with Linux to start learning from others. Is more information or advice available, so I can start hammering out these problems?
