[OpenAFS] Any real need for separate AFS cache harddisk partition?

2006-10-30 Thread avison48

[OpenAFS] openafs and legato networker

Hi! Does anyone have any experience using legato networker to back up afs volumes? We would like to switch from vos dump all volumes to an extra raid array -backups to using legato (since that's the de facto backup solution around here). What's the best way to do it? I found this

It's a security hole to allow anyone with write access to gain administrative priviledges just through mkdir. In OpenAFS you still have implicit a access given to the owner of a volume (which is the owner of the root directory node of a volume). I do not believe there is a compilation flag to
