Hi Volkmar,

thanks for your answer.

Dear Christian,

neither a native nor an somehow mounted /home can be directly exported using AFS. The AFS file server stores volumes and corresponding folders and files on its /vicepX partitions in an internal format which does not allow re-exporting local or foreign file systems through afs. Re-exporting AFS volumes from an AFS client machine to other machines via NFS/CIFS works, if you get the kerberos/token setup right. But I'm afraid this is not what you want to do...


So it is as I feared, I saw the possibility to convert afs to nfs. The reason I was trying to setup the system in this way was to be able to use the nice backup features of zfs. Do you know whether it is possible to arrange the volumes like:

/vicepa/voss/<>.vol

In this case, with a bit of scripting, we might be able to use the zfs-snaphot features by mounting the snapshots seperately

Thanks,
        Christian

Best,

Volkmar

Zitat von Voss <[email protected]>:

Dear experts,

I set up an afs-server this morning, it works well. The initial goal I
had was exporting our /home directory with afs, it is, however, an nfs
file system. Is there any possibility to export these directories using
afs, without changes to the basic structures?

The afs-server is a redhat-6.6 machine, the nfs-server is an
openindiana machine.

Thanks alot,
        Christian
