Here is my vos partinfo<br><br>
vos partinfo 192.168.113.50<br>
Free space on partition /vicepa: 561736172 K blocks out of total
563189544<br>
Free space on partition /vicepb: 563156704 K blocks out of total
563189544<br>
Free space on partition /vicepc: 599831980 K blocks out of total
599864820<br><br>
<br>
I created only a cell on /vicepa with this command<br><br>
./vos create 192.168.113.50 /vicepa root.afs -cell afs-1
-noauth<br><br>
.. so if i want to use /vicepb and /vicepc i need to do more ?<br><br>

You don't need to do anything special to use /vicepb and /vicepc.
Just<br>
create volumes on them. (Use "vos listpart $server" to figure
out what<br>
partitions are there, maybe you need to restart the AFS servers
using<br>
"bos restart $server -all" if you added the partitions after
starting<br>
the server processes)<br><br>

There cannot be more than one cell per server. You seem to
misunderstand<br>
the cell / server / partition concept.<br><br>
Cell: An administrative domain. Or: An authentication domain.
Usually<br>
consists of one or more servers.<br>
Server: Belongs to a cell. Contains data belonging to a cell<br>
(authentication / user+group / file data)<br>
Partition: A container for volumes. Resides on a server. There
might be<br>
more than one partition per server.<br>
Volume: A container for files + directories + ACLs. A volume is<br>
basically a name, a number and a quota (max. size). A volume is
stored<br>
in a partition. It might have readonly clones on other servers.<br><br>

AFAIK there is no out-of-the-box method of hot-syncing two AFS file<br>
servers. At least there is no special infrastructure in OpenAFS.

HTH! Tino.<br><br>
