Quoting Derrick Brashear <[email protected]>:

... when does the system automatically recreate the sysid file, and when
does it not do this? What are the requirements and can they be checked?

if it's missing it should be recreated when the server registers with
the VLserver.

what does the FileLog tell you?

Oh, um... that sounds logical. :-)  Let's see:

   VL_RegisterAddrs rpc failed; The IP address exists on a different
      server; repair it
   VL_RegisterAddrs rpc failed; See VLLog for details

Those two lines repeated 37 times. All the VLLog said was:

   Using 82.95.170.57 as my primary address
   Starting AFS vlserver 4 (/usr/lib/openafs/vlserver)

That's my fault. While troubleshooting a problem, I decided to add an internal address, 192.168.24.10, to the server's NetInfo file, in addition to 82.95.170.57. The server's CellServDB only contains 82.95.170.57 (the same host also runs a ptserver and a vlserver).

After removing the internal address from the NetInfo file, the errors were no longer present in the FileLog after the file server was restarted and a new sysid was created automatically.

f912d849d3201b004ae7dbacf2d4848836fa986f was needed such that an
immediate failure would be retried, but
1) you should have it
and
2) that only applied if you restarted everything (including vlserver)
in a single server configuration, not just the fileserver.

What do you mean by "f912d849d3201b004ae7dbacf2d4848836fa986f"?

Cheers,

Jaap
