[OpenAFS] Mountpoint to volume map, volume to mountpoint map [was "2 problems for me newbie... "]

[Dexter 'Kim' Kimball]

I haven't got anything that builds the map.  If anyone else does please
contribute if possible.  

If you

    cat <concatenated output of salvage -showmounts> | awk '{print
$6,$9,$NF}' | sed 's/[()]//g'

it will output a file with lines of the form


          A                                         B
C
Volume-containing-mountpoint  path-to-mountpoint-relative-to-root-node-of-A
name-of-volume-mounted-at-B

Example output:

testvolV /W testvolW
testvolV /a/b/c/d/e/f/Z testvolZ

which means "relative to the root node of testvolV I found a mountpoint ./W
to volume testvolW"
and         "relative to the root node of testvolV I found a mountpoint
./a/b/c/d/e/f/Z to volume testvolZ"


So if testvolV is mounted at

/afs/<cell>/testvolV

then you know that

/afs/<cell>/testvolV/W is a mount point to volume testvolW, or conversely
that testvolW is mounted at /afs/<cell>/testvolV/W

and that

/afs/<cell>/testvolV/a/b/c/d/e/f/Z is a mountpoint to volume testvolZ, or
conversely that testvolZ is mounted at /afs/<cell>/testvolV/a/b/c/d/e/f/Z

I haven't scripted the rest yet, hoping to find that someone else has done
it and can contribute same.  

It shouldn't be necessary to run any vos command to complete the
mountpoint|volume, volume|mountpoint map.

Hope this helps.

Kim



I figured I'd find the rest of the script somewhere
