No. The file semantics don't support that. However, you can enable AFSDB records (add the -afsdb flag to afsd), and then use a zero-length CellServDB file, and all VLDB location information will be resolved via AFSDB records. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
