Well so far I like RHEL 7 thought it is still a bit of a learning curve. I haven't found any released client installs that I have been able to install on my RHEL 7 AFS clients and I have been unsuccessful in my build attempts, though my skills in that area are a bit lacking.
I can't say anything about the file server side of it. But since it isn't tied to the kernel I would think it would be less of an issue. It is strictly a 64 bit install and I used the UEFI boot. ck -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Garance A Drosehn Sent: Friday, April 03, 2015 2:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OpenAFS] Any preference for RHEL file servers It looks like I'll finally get around to upgrading our AFS fileserver machines. The new ones will be using Redhat enterprise, and I was just wondering if there is any reason to prefer RHEL6 vs RHEL7, as far as openafs itself is concerned. I realize redhat will support RHEL7 for a lot longer than RHEL6, but it also seems to me that a lot of things have changed at the sysadmin level for RHEL7. So, I'm just curious if one of them is better than the other when it comes to AFS fileservers. These machines will only be used for AFS fileservers, no other services on them.
