[OpenAFS-devel] OpenAFS 1.3.82 On Amd64 Running Solaris 10 x86

[Antoine Verheijen]

I have a Sun V20Z, an Opteron-based machine, running a completely 
patched (as of yesterday) version of Solaris 10 x86. OpenAFS 1.3.82 was 
compiled using Sun Studio 10. The compile and install went without 
incident. However, when attempting to start AFS, the '/afs' directory 
will mount but any attempt to access other volumes, such as the 
"root.cell" of the local cell, always results in a "no such device" 
error. The AFS cache is on a nologging disk partition but I also 
experienced the same results when using a memory cache.

A build of OpenAFS 1.3.81 on the same system works fine.

I do not, at this time, know if the behaviour is the same on either a 
sparc-based or i386-based system running Solaris 10, although I intend 
to find out.

I am pursuing the cause of (and possible solution to) this problem but 
I raise it here in case someone else may already have encountered (and 
even solved) this behaviour already.

Anyone?

Thanks, all. Bye. :-)
