[OpenAFS-devel] afsd can't initialize Cache Manager

[Anatoly Oreshkin]

Hello,

I have installed openafs-1.2.10 on Linux RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-4smp).
I start afs init script which calls afsd to initialize Cache Manager
but unsuccessfully with error messages:

afsd: Error -1 in basic initialization.
Adding cell 'rl.ac.uk': error -1
...
afsd: No check server daemon in client.
afsd: All AFS daemons started.
afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(22)

/sbin/lsmod gives output :
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: PF
libafs-2.4.18-3-i686.mp  563408   0

nfsd                   77376   8  (autoclean)
....

To get more debug information I have started afsd using strace
/usr/bin/strace -f afsd

It looks like that afsd forks necessary demons rx listener,
rx callback listener, rxevent daemon. But these demons exit abnormaly.

What may be the reason ?  Any hints ?

Thanks.
