[OpenAFS] Is /vicepa really mandatory on afs clients?

[ted creedon]

If partitioning is a problem, a loopback file could be mounted as /vicepa
just for test.

   /vicepa is not needed for clients - it is used by AFS fileservers.

I don't know, but 50 meg is too less for a server. Though depends on
    the amount of data, that you want to put on it.
    But I guess, it would still work.


Thanks and  Regards,

In the IBM docs for creating a client it contains this:


Create a directory called /vicepxx for each AFS server partition you are
configuring (there must be at least one). Repeat the command for each
partition.

   # mkdir /vicepxx


Does there really need to be at least one /vicepa partition?  I am looking
to setup an afs client only...  If each afs server has /vicepa shared, it
would imply every afs box has to share some of its disk space.

Is there a minimum size /vicepa must be?  Can I make it 50 meg and
everything still work?

(I am using 1.2.13 for Solaris)

I have things working where I have access to my home dir from two servers,
now adding a third into the mix.

Thanks
