Thanks!

I didn't realize the unix client didn't allow bidirectional linkage (docs for linked cells are hard to find).

Anyway, I have gotten this to work now but I had to use the reverse order that you suggested.

newcell oldcell #name
oldcell #name

Otherwise I still got the original error 2.

Cheers,
Stephen

cell being linked to before the
cell linking to it, in order, in the CSDB.

e.g.

oldcell #whatever
newcell oldcell #whatever.

      Hi,

      Any known bugs in the parsing of CellServDB syntax for linked cells? I 
ask because I seem to be
      experiencing one and am trying to determine if it's a known problem or 
PEBKAC (problem existing
      between keyboard and chair).

      I'm trying linked cells as per the docs I found at
      <http://docs.openafs.org/ReleaseNotesWindows/Linked_Cells.html>. Upon 
starting the client, I get
      the following messages.

      Starting AFS services: openafs afsd.
      Adding cell 'oldcell.unc.edu': error 2
      Adding cell 'newcell.unc.edu': error 2
      afsd: All AFS daemons started.

      Client is "Linux tasty 3.2.0-51-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 24 
20:18:19 UTC 2013 x86_64
      x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

      Openafs version is 1.6.1+ubuntu0.2 -- just 'cuz that's the newest in the 
repo.

      Here's the syntax I've tried:
            newcell.unc.edu oldcell.unc.edu #New Cell

      152.2.4.5                        #afsdb1.newcell.unc.edu
      152.2.5.6                        #afsdb2.newcell.unc.edu
      152.2.6.7                        #afsdb3.newcell.unc.edu
            oldcell.unc.edu newcell.unc.edu #Old Cell

      152.2.1.2                        #db1.oldcell.unc.edu
      152.2.2.3                        #db1.oldcell.unc.edu
      152.2.3.4                        #db1.oldcell.unc.edu

      Interestingly, I can configure linked cells correctly via "fs newcell 
-linkedcell". So, is this
      something obvious I'm doing wrong or should I open a bug report?

      Cheers,
      Stephen
