To followup to my own email... what's the secret to getting linked cells
working on Windows?
I'm playing with 1.7.26 on Windows 7 Enterprise.
I've tried bidirectional linking and unidirectional linking.
The behavior I'm seeing is that when I'm a member of newcell and click on a
mountpoint for a volume in oldcell, I get the contents of the local
machine's dynroot ('newcell', 'oldcell', and 'thirdcell' (another cell I
accessed)).
Clicking on one of those "folders" just leads to a recursive rabbithole of
the same folder with the 3 items. I got bored after ~10 levels.
Cheers,
Stephen

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

the unix client will not allow bidirectional linkage, and you must name the
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
