[OpenAFS] AFS configuration errors?

[John Green]

I'm replying to my own post, because I might have found out what the problem
is, and it might be obscure enough to save someone a headache.  Apparently
configuring the /vicepa partition at install time doesn't work with RedHat.
I tried leaving some open space on a drive, creating and formatting a
(primary) partition as /vicepa, and it's working fine.  The /afs directory
was created by the rpm's.  Client and server are operational.

Anyway, it was news to me.

Subject: [OpenAFS] AFS configuration errors?


I have tried getting openafs working for a few days now, and keep getting
this error:
FSYNC_clientInit temporary failure (will retry): Connection refused
I am using RH 7.2, 2.4.7-10 Enterprise kernel,
openafs-1.2.7-rh7.2.2.src.rpm.

The only explanation I have seen is that the volserver is attempting to
start before the fileserver.  I have a feeling that this error is a symptom
of my real problem.  I plan on using KerberosV for authentication, but have
also tried using the kaserver (Quick Beginnings procedure in the Openafs
docs).  The same error appears every time.

Also, when I try to mount the /vicepa partition (which I created during the
RH install like a normal partition, and edited the /etc/fstab file
afterwards) using this command:
vos create afs1 /vicepa root.afs -localauth
I receive this error:
Could not fetch the list of partitions from the server
Possible communication failure
Possible communication failure

I used the redhat authconfig to update the /etc/pam.d files, which I've
heard should work okay.  I used the kadmin.local -e des-cbc-crc:v4 command
to create the afs principal and keytab in kerberos.  I modified the
/etc/sysconfig/afs to start the server, but not the client.  I have tried
using the standard RH /etc/rc.d/init.d/afs file to start the bosserver, and
have tried doing it manually, with the same results.

I have pasted the BosLog, FileLog, PtLog, SalvageLog, and VLLog output
below.  If anyone can give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or how to
proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks  --  John
