Description: What hosts are DB servers for your home cell?
4
AFS uses the file /etc/openafs/CellServDB to hold the list of servers
5
that should be contacted to find parts of a cell. The cell you claim
6
this workstation belongs to is not in that file. Enter the host
7
names of the database servers separated by spaces.
8
IMPORTANT: If you are creating a new cell and this machine is to be
9
a database server in that cell, only enter this machine's name; add
10
the other servers later after they are functioning. Also, do not
11
enable the AFS client to start at boot on this server until the cell
12
is configured. When you are ready you can edit

Description: What AFS cell does this workstation belong to?
18
AFS filespace is organized into cells or administrative domains.
19
Each workstation belongs to one cell. Usually the cell is the DNS
20
domain name of the site.

Description: How large is your AFS cache (kb)?
26
AFS uses a area of the disk to cache remote files for faster
27
access. This cache will be mounted on /var/cache/openafs. It is
28
important that the cache not overfill the partition it is located
29
on. Often, people find it useful to dedicate a partition to their

Should the Openafs filesystem be started and mounted at boot?
37
Normally, most users who install the openafs-client package expect to
38
run it at boot. However, if you are planning on setting up a new
39
cell or are on a laptop, you may not want it started at boot time.

If you answer no to this question, run /etc/init.d/openafs-client

Description: Look up AFS cells in DNS?
47
In order to contact an AFS cell, you need the IP addresses of the
48
cell's database servers. Normally, this information is read from
49
/etc/openafs/CellServDB. However, if Openafs cannot find a cell in
50
that file it can use DNS to look for AFSDB records that contain the

Description: ENcrypt authenticated traffic with AFS fileserver?
57
AFS provides a weak form of encryption that can optionally be used
58
between a client and the fileservers. While this encryption is weaker
59
than DES and thus is not sufficient for highly confidential data, it
60
does provide some confidentiality and is likely to make the job of a
61
casual attacker significantly more difficult.

Traditionally, these entries were generated by servers in the client's
69
68
home cell. However, OpenAFS clients can generate the contents of /afs
70
69
dynamically based on the contents of /etc/openafs/CellServDB and DNS.
72
If you generate /afs dynamically, you may need to create
73
/etc/openafs/CellAliases to include aliases for common cells.
74
DO NOT SELECT THIS OPTION IF YOU ARE CREATING A NEW CELL.

If you generate /afs dynamically, you may need to create

of this file is one line per alias, with the cell name, a space, and then

Description: Use fakestat to avoid hangs when listing /afs?
80
Because AFS is a global file space, operations on the /afs directory
81
can generate significant network traffic. If some AFS cells are
82
unavailable then looking at /afs using ls or a graphical file browser
83
may hang your machine for minutes. AFS has an option to simulate
84
answers to these operations locally to avoid these hangs. You want
85
this option under most circumstances.
