RE: AFS in FreeBSD 5.4 or 6
I know that is there. I have already fired up 6.0 on a test box, downloaded the binary and scratched my head at a complete lack of documentation. If you saw my original post (which you might not have) I was only asking for a pointer to some documentation. Having never installed, used, seen or even smelled AFS before, a tarball of binaries leaves me confounded. The instructions for every other O/S documented on the site mention kernel modifications and so on. Without some idea of what I have to do to get this running, I'm stranded. I'm sure that if I'd been running AFS for years, an upgrade to 6.0 with the binary would be a no-brainer. Sorry, I'm rambling. I think you get the idea; I'd love to use AFS, I have 6.0 and the binaries. All I am lacking is a clue ! I was specifically asking if anyone could point me to any information I could use to get started. - Craig From: Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Craig Ryhorchuk [EMAIL PROTECTED], freebsd-questions@freebsd.org CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: AFS in FreeBSD 5.4 or 6 Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2006 01:31:05 -0800 openafs has a compiled binary for FreeBSD 6.0 on their website, have either of you even tried it, or are you going to just write it off without even seeing it it works at all?

I have not tried it, since the openafs mailing list had some talk of the latest (CVS) snapshots of OpenAFS not working on FreeBSD 6.1. I thought that meant OpenAFS was broken due to changes in FreeBSD, which has certainly happened in the past. But in re-reading those messages, it looks like the problem might have been specific to OpenAFS on FreeBSD/amd64. Since I am not running on AMD64 (yet...), I should take another look at the recent snapshots of OpenAFS on FreeBSD. I have been focused on the upcoming 1.4.1 release of OpenAFS, since that will include support for MacOS 10.4 (Tiger). The web pages for those release-candidates only have binary packages for MacOS 10 and Windows, and I must admit I didn't try them on FreeBSD. Thanks for prodding me along to take another look at this.
