I' m trying to install afs (Andrew File System) on my laptop with Debian
distribution.
I got the source code with

apt-get install openafs-modules-source

and so uncompressed the archive and compiled.
I installed it with make install.
The procedure has been successfull. Now the README is ended and I don't
know where the binaries are and what I have to do to start afs.
Has anybody an howto, or a link with it? I didn't find it in the openafs page...

Thanks

this is old for potatoe at unc perhaps it will help
http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin/tips/src...potato-unc.txt

you have the kernel module installed for openAFS
to load it into the kernel
su (become root) and:
insmod openafs
or
modprobe openafs
should load the module into the kernel
lsmod to check
if it's not working make sure you didn't just build a .deb package when you did the compile
(it's been a long time since i used debian)
i think if you did just make the .deb package it will be in /usr/src
and you will have to do
dpkg -i openafs-modules-whatever_it's_called.deb

ok if the kernel modules load and you want it to load at boot put openafs in /etc/modules

then you will need server or client or both
apt-get install openafs-client

Hi,

I tried in first approximation this way, but after the compilation I'm not able to install the .deb package because of
a conflict with GPL.
So I used the standard linux compilation, I was successfull in the installation, but now, if I try to do afsd it returns:

afsd: Error -1 in basic initialization.
Adding cell 'rl.ac.uk': error -1
Adding cell 'hep.man.ac.uk': error -1
Adding cell 'phy.bris.ac.uk': error -1
Adding cell 'p-ng.si': error -1
Adding cell 'f9.ijs.si': error -1
Adding cell 'su.se': error -1
Adding cell 'sanchin.se': error -1
Adding cell 'physto.se': error -1
Adding cell 'syd.kth.se': error -1
Adding cell 'stacken.kth.se': error -1

....
afsd: All AFS daemons started.


for all the cells.
And if I try a klog on my cell (slac.stanford.edu) I have:

Unable to authenticate to AFS because a pioctl failed.


I don't know the reason...
