Hi Before I begin let me say my bash is putrid.
As I read it the afs startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/afs does not permit the
case of a cell not being in the CellServDB file even if you enable ENABLE_AFSDB
to append the -afsdb command line switch.
It looks like the line 213 will block it from working ?
CELL gets defined as the dnsname correctly but then the script refuses to start
as the CELL is not in the CellServDB, causing the script to bomb out on line 218
Offending function is this :
195 check_thiscell() {
196 CELL=
197 if [ -s /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell ] ; then
198 CELL="$(cat /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell)"
199 if [ -n "$CELL" ]; then
200 grep -w -q -s ">$CELL" /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB
201 if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
202 echo afs: $CELL from ThisCell is not in CellServDB. Not starting.
1>&2
203 return 1
204 fi
205 return 0
206 fi
207 fi
208 CELL=`dnsdomainname`;
209 if [ $? -ne 0 -o -z "$CELL" ] ; then
210 echo afs: No cell defined. Trying to figure it out failed. Not starting.
1>&2
211 return 1
212 fi
213 grep -w -q -s ">$CELL" /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB
214 if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
215 echo afs: No cell defined. Trying to figure it out failed. Not starting.
1>&2
216 return 1
217 fi
218 echo "$CELL" > /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell && chmod 0644
/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell
219 if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
220 echo afs: No cell defined. Trying to configure "$CELL" failed. Not
starting. 1>&2
221 return 1
222 fi
223 echo afs: Warning: No cell was defined. Autoconfigured "$CELL". 1>&2
224 }
