Hi,

Not sure if this is the right list to ask - but I will try ;).

I used the x-mas period to setup my local cell again, this time using =
only omnios latest LTS release (illumos). Unfortunately it was not fully =
straight forward and I would like to know how to address the below =
points:

Also I would like to know if you could incorporate the below mentioned =
patches for omnios (solaris tree) so that the next maintenance releases =
will again build out of the box.

- build process / dokumentation
- zone support.

Sorry I try to be brief with the text.

* =E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94 build process:

To build the following pre-requisites are mandatory (this is missing in =
any doc)

- SolarisStudio 12.3 (or below).
- gmake
- the patches from Tim Creech to work around the =E2=80=9Eold kerberos =
includes=E2=80=9C in Illumos=20
- =
https://git.sr.ht/~tcreech/openafs/commit/220e4c02cf61fdf02dedd65162630171=
e40571cb

This patches are mandatory, else =E2=80=9Eaklog=E2=80=9C and =E2=80=9Eklog=
=E2=80=9C will not build.=20

After the patch build will succeed, but kernel optimization needs to be =
disabled to avoid a kernel panic in afsd (honestly, I am not skilled =
enough to find out why ..)
I used this configure options for the build:=20

AS=3D/../solarisstudio12.3/bin/sunas \
    CC=3D/../solarisstudio12.3/bin/suncc \
    SOLARISCC=3D/../solarisstudio12.3/bin/suncc \
    CFLAGS=3D"-Wl,-rpath=3D/opt/openafs/lib " \
    ./configure --prefix=3D/opt/openafs --with-afs-sysname=3Dsunx86_511 =
--enable-namei-fileserver --disable-optimize-kernel

gmake=20

* =E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94 build finished =
after this and all is up and running...

* =E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94=E2=80=94 zone support

Also - Tim Creech has some nice and simple hints how to make openafs =
available in all zones - This works like a charm and I would like to =
know if you could publish this also on the wiki in the solaris section ?=20=


https://werc.tcreech.com/notes/Illumos/OpenAFS_in_Zones=EF=BF=BC

Well that=E2=80=99s it.=20

So my main question are :=20

- could you please add the patch to the next maintenance release, or =
minimum a hint on the wiki to show others how to build on omnios / =
illumos.
- could you please update the solaris documentation with hints about the =
build procedure (see the configure options).
- could you please update the solaris documentation with the references =
on how to use openafs in zones.


Also if you would need, please let me know how I can help and I will =
happily use some of my spare time to support you.

And last but not least, I am quite happy with my cell and I am also very =
grateful that you all keep the old code running and in a clean shape =E2=80=
=A6  ;-)=20

Thanks in advance and have a good start in 2026.

Best regards

marco
