Hi Jeffrey,
it is common an openafs admin has to sync an ro volume after something
is added to rw volume. This is done by the vos release command. I think
its the only way. Are there automatic sync functions in the vol / fs server.
The risk of automated volume releases is that the automated system does
not know when the volume contents are in a consistent and quiescent state.
ok, but vos release "knows" them ?
Is there something against a crontab script as root with vos lock and
vos release to all volumes (with an ro site) ?
Sites often use remctl to grant end users the ability to release their
own volumes.
Automated releases of RO volumes are a poor substitute for replicated RW
volumes. RW replication is a feature which was never completed for OpenAFS.
