Followup:
The startup problem has been fixed by removing /var/cache/openafs/*
and making the cache smaller. Now 5GB.
* is there a max size of the cache?
* is there some check for that max size (to prevent unsupported or
unreasonable big values in cacheinfo)? Looks to me that openafs
tries to create a 5TB on a 1TB HD if asked to do so.
But I have a new problem:
Old AFS client:
$ ls /afs/stacken.kth.se/home | wc -l
739
New AFS client:
$ ls /afs/stacken.kth.se/home | wc -l
775
Of course my home (haba) is one of the missing ones.
But even if I see the mount point with ls, it may not exists anyway:
$ ls /afs/stacken.kth.se/home | head -1
aalen
$ fs lsm /afs/stacken.kth.se/home/aalen
fs: File '/afs/stacken.kth.se/home/aalen' doesn't exist
So what is going on? I can access
$ ls /afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs/|wc -l
245
$ fs checks
All servers are running.
$ fs getcac
AFS using 1924 of the cache's available 5000000 1K byte blocks.
