[OpenAFS-devel] AFS server on Apple Xserve ... Getting desperate

[Valerio Luccio]

Hi,
this is the third mailing list I'm sending the request to. Sorry if you 
receive it more than once, but I need to find if anyone has an answer.

I'm installing OpenAFS on an Apple Xserve running OS X server10.2. The 
client side works just fine (connects to the server I previously 
installed on my RedHat box), but the server doesn't want to behave. The 
problem is with the partitions: I've formatted a disk and manually 
installed it on "/vicepa" (overriding the Apple default mount point), 
but when I try "vos create ..." I get an answer "partition does not 
exist". When I try "vos listp" I get an output that indicates that there 
are no partitions available.

    ~: mount
    /dev/disk5 on /vicepa (local)

    ~: df /vicepa
    Filesystem  512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
    /dev/disk5   233777984        8 222089088     0%    /vicepa

    ~: vos listp koura.cns.nyu.edu -l
    The partitions on the server are:

    Total: 0

Obviously the way that the OS X returns the partition list is not 
compatible with OpenAFS.

Has anyone been able to run the server under OS X server ?

Thanks,
