Here is the problem I alluded to earlier: I have a student who bought a new laptop with Windows Version 6.1.7600 and installed NIM and OpenAFS 1.5.9904 and things ALMOST work.
They can get tokens and can go to \\afs\openafs.org and \\afs\cs.wisc.edu but not \\afs\cs.uwm.edu When they try, they get the message: "\\afs\cs.uwm.edu refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check..." They can run vos commands: "vos examine root.cell" works fine. If they run "fs checks", there is a long pause, and then it says that "filip.cs.uwm.edu" is unavailable, even though it pings fine from this machine and the server is accessible from elsewhere. (filip is the RW location of root.cell, but it is also available on two other servers: solomons and jeremiah) The main DB server is solomons. NET VIEW \\AFS shows Share name ... cs.uwm.edu Disk <UNC> AFS MountPoint to #cs.uwm.edu:root.cell. cs.wisc.edu Disk AFS MountPoint to #cs.wisc.edu:root.cell openafs.org Disk AFS MountPoint to #openafs.org:root.cell NB: The "period" at the end of the cs.uwm.edu entry makes me worried now. Is that a possible problem? And why are ONLY the cells that cannot be reached marked as UNC? But if the period was the error, why would it say that filip was unavailable? Everything looks fine in the AFS Control Panel (although no uwm machines show up in the Server Preferences pane) Best regards, John _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
