Dear all, First, let me state that I am a complete OpenAFS newbie. I’ve just started playing with it and found some obstacles I failed to resolve myself even after reading the docs – therefore asking for help here.
1. which version to install? I need windows client support so I need 1.5 - right? But it is not stable.. Or is it? And don't see any pre-built rpms for it, so compiling from sources? 2. tried to compile and it worked but it created a non-"mp" kernel module while my kernel needs an mp one - how to fix that? 3. do I really need a new fresh partition to start with or I can re-use an existing one and just make it available via afs? Actually #3 is the most important so let me explain. I have a server already and willing to make a large repository available via afs. Attaching a new hard drive or even changing partitions is hard for me as the servers is remote for me and has plenty of data already. So is there any way to make afs use just a folder somewhere? Any workarounds? Thanks a lot for the information in advance, Mike Pliskin
