Hi.
We have AFS db servers on some ancient hardware, and decided to move
them to be virtual machines on much newer hardware. I've moved one
of them already, and the final result seems to be fine. There was
one minor oddity during the physical-to-virtual move which was a
little worrisome, so I th
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
Hmm. I have multiple macs running (between here in the office and at
home), and on average I go something like 40-60 days before I have to
reboot. And the most frequent reason for a reboot is that Apple has
released an update which forces me to reboot. My Mac at home sees

We have some AFS volumes which hold data for various web servers on
campus. These volumes are replicated on multiple file servers,
because that's an intelligent thing to do with important data.

I've been busy moving our AFS volumes from ancient file servers to

Just a trivial observation we noticed here at RPI. This is just
for your amusement. There is nothing important about it.
This past weekend we (RPI) had some odd problem pop up. The problem
itself has no connection to OpenAFS, but while investigating that
problem the guy who runs our LDAP server

Hi. On the last few messages I've sent to openafs-info@, the mailing
