Hi. I have been poking around the web for a couple of days, looking for
How-to's on OpenAFS, AFS, or Arla. What I am trying to do is set up an
AFS cell on my home network, in hopes of learning about the AFS
technology. What I did was download the Redhat-7.1 RPM's from the web
site, build the kernel modules for my kernel (2.4.10, if it matters),
and start it up. I left the ThisCell set to "openafs.org", because I
know that one works. I can do a "cd /afs/openafs.org", and see stuff
there. I can get source and packages if I go further down in the tree.
So, it would seem that I have a working client. What I'd like to do now
is set up my own server.
This leads to the big question: Where can I find information on the
steps necessary to set up a new server ?? Is there a How-to ? Is there
a README someplace ?? I checked out the README included with the
source, and didn't see anything but how to build/install the source. I
looked at the IBM/Transarc documentation, but didn't find what I was
looking for (admitedly, I didn't *read* it all, just glanced at it).
There isn't anything on the Arla or OpenAFS sites that was easily
found. Did I miss something ? Is there a server setup guide someplace
??
Help!!
[ also, if I am asking for help in the wrong place, please flame me and
direct me to the right place :) ]
