[OpenAFS-devel] Cannot start afsd with 30GB cache

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

Hi,
  I somewhat cannot start afsd on linux-2.6.13.2 kernel with 30GB large cache. The max what works
is about 3.6GB as set in the cacheinfo file. I use 1.4.0-rc6 at the moment on this host with SMP/HIGHMEM.


# /usr/sbin/afsd -fakestat -stat 300 -dcache 100 -daemons 2 -volumes 50 -chunksize 20 -nosettime -afsdb -dynroot -verbose -debug
[cut]
137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 SScall(137, 28, 10)=22 afsd: Calling AFSOP_GO with cacheSetTime = 0
SScall(137, 28, 100)=0 afsd: All AFS daemons started.
afsd: Forking trunc-cache daemon.
afsd: Mounting the AFS root on '/afs', flags: 0.
afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(2)
#

I have in CellServeDB not only my cell definitions but also of other world cells.
Does that clash with the -afsdb or -dynroot flag? Actually, would someone tell me what
these two do exactly?

Thanks for help.
