Hi,

I'm trying to set up an OpenAFS to replace NFS (customers hate when that box
shuts down), but having some problems.

I'm reading some howto's (mainly Gentoo-oriented), and I'm stuck when I have
to create the fs instance (here:
http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/QuickStartUnix/auqbg002.htm#ToC_67).

The "bos create" command works but fileserver, volserver and salvager don't
start.

Here's what the bosserver issues in syslog:
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:file exited with code 1_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:vol exited on signal 15_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:salv exited with code 0_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:file exited with code 1_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:vol exited on signal 15_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:salv exited with code 0_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:file exited with code 1_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:vol exited on signal 15_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:salv exited with code 0_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:file exited with code 1_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:vol exited on signal 15_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] fs:salv exited with code 0_
Sep 28 23:10:11 [bosserver] BNODE 'fs' repeatedly failed to start, perhaps
missing executable._
Sep 28 23:10:12 [bosserver] fs:file exited with code 1_
Sep 28 23:10:12 [bosserver] BNODE 'fs' repeatedly failed to start, perhaps
missing executable._
Sep 28 23:10:12 [bosserver] fs:vol exited on signal 15_
Sep 28 23:10:12 [bosserver] BNODE 'fs' repeatedly failed to start, perhaps
missing executable._

And here is what "bos status afsone -long -noauth" tells me about fileserver
(the other four ka,bu,pt and vlserver are running normally):
Instance fs, (type is fs) temporarily disabled, stopped for too many errors,
currently shutdown.
    Auxiliary status is: file server shut down.
    Process last started at Thu Sep 28 23:10:11 2006 (27 proc starts)
    Last exit at Thu Sep 28 23:10:12 2006
    Last error exit at Thu Sep 28 23:10:12 2006, by file, by exiting with
code 1
    Command 1 is '/usr/libexec/openafs/fileserver'
    Command 2 is '/usr/libexec/openafs/volserver'
    Command 3 is '/usr/libexec/openafs/salvager'

Can anyone help me on this ? Goolge seems to hate me since it got sentenced
in my country ;-)

The /vicepa directory exists, and an empty ext2 partition is mounted
read/write with default options.
That OS is running as a guest in Vmware ESX, could it be related ?
Kernel version is stock 2.6.17.6, OpenAFS is 1.4.2_rc4 (same for kernel
module). Should I try some older stable release (1.4.1 ? maybe older ?).

Thanks in advance,
F. Toppi
