[OpenAFS] achieving "balance"?

[Stephen Joyce]

(is it schizophrenic to reply to one's own post?)

ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/AFS-Tools/balance-1.2-beta.tar.gz will
compile, with warnings, on linux after adjusting library locations. However
while it's stable on solaris, it segfaults fairly often on linux.

Is there a newer version that 1.2-beta (10/26/2003)? Or is anyone using
this reliably on linux and willing to share their changes? OR, as I asked
originally, if balance is no longer the best program to use for balancing
volumes across partitions, what is?

Cheers, Stephen

The problem with troubleshooting is that often trouble shoots back.
