I performed an fs examine, because fs lq is for quota.


Here is the output :


root.cell :

afs-2 /afs/epitech.net # fs examine
File . (536870916.1.1) contained in volume 536870916
Volume status for vid = 536870916 named root.cell.readonly
Current disk quota is unlimited
Current blocks used are 18882
The partition has 813060455 blocks available out of 863664762



volume also replicated :
afs-2 /afs/epitech.net/site # fs examine
File . (536895547.1.1) contained in volume 536895547
Volume status for vid = 536895547 named site
Current disk quota is unlimited
Current blocks used are 417442
The partition has 800307515 blocks available out of 863664762


The root.cell give me the ro Volume while the other one give me the RW
volume

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a volume which is replicated on several servers. I have run some<br>
tests (basically tcpdump) and noticed that my client where asking only the<=
br>
RW volume and never the RO, so my replication is kind of useless. For other=
s<br>
volumes such as root.cell there is no problem, does anybody have and idea o=
f<br>
what could happend ?<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
make sure that the volume that contains the mountpoint of the volume in que=
stion here is not mounted RW (and that it is, in fact, replicated).<br>
A broken read-only-path is likely the issue here.<br>
<br>
Use fs lq to quickly find out just which volume (RO or RW) is accessed at a=
ny point in your AFS tree.<br>
