If you upgraded to a binary which was build with supergroups enabled, and you never create a supergroups with pts, then the database can still be used with the old, non-supergroup binaries. However, if you do create a supergroup, going back would take some conversion. > To enable supergroups again, should all DB servers be shut down at once, > when replacing the binaries with "supergroups enabled" binaries? Generally, yes, you want all the ptservers to be at the same level. -- Michael Meffie <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
