Configure AFS volumes

Configure AFS volumes

Admin ticket

For administrative operations you have to get a administrative kerberos and afs ticket first:

kinit admin
afs5log

ACLs

Enable everyone to traverse /afs:

fs setacl /afs system:anyuser rl

Note: If you get the error message "fs:'/afs': Connection timed out", then you have to set DYNROOT="no" in /etc/sysconfig/openafs-client, restart the openafs-client and re-get your ticket.

Create root.cell volume

vos create willie /vicepa root.cell
fs mkmount /afs/redflo.de root.cell
fs setacl /afs/redflo.de system:anyuser rl
fs mkmount /afs/.redflo.de root.cell -rw

Create volumes for user home directories

Create volume for "usr" directory

vos create willie /vicepa root.user
fs mkmount /afs/redflo.de/usr root.user
fs setacl /afs/redflo.de/usr system:anyuser rl

For every user (example: username redflo) do:

vos create willie /vicepa user.redflo
fs mkmount /afs/redflo.de/usr/redflo user.redflo
pts createuser redflo `id -u redflo`
fs setacl /afs/redflo.de/usr/redflo redflo write

note: just realizing that another user database is needed here ....
