Installing an AFS Server with FAI (i.e. running Kubuntu)

Install the basic operating system

This should be done with PXE boot and setting up the correct DHCP server settings (Achim, please edit!)

Install additional packages

In order to compile openafs, install the following packages:

• aptitude install gcc make flex bison libncurses5-dev
• aptitude install openafs-client openafs-modules-2.6.15-27-686

The last module of course depends on your current kernel.

Download and compile openafs

openafs can be retrieved from www.openafs.org, then:

• cd /tmp
• tar -xvzf openafs-1.4.2-src.tar.gz
• cd openafs-1.4.2
• ./configure --enable-transarc-paths --with-afs-sysname=i386_linux26
• make
• make dest

Install openafs server

This is just following (except for the Dreck...) the documentation in http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/QuickStartUnix/auqbg006.htm#HDRWQ100

• cp /tmp/openafs-1.4.2/i386_linux26/dest/root.client/usr/vice/etc/afs.rc /etc/init.d/afs
• mkdir /usr/afs
• mkdir /usr/afs/bin
• mkdir /usr/afs/etc
• mkdir /usr/vice

na gut, das ist *dreckig*

• mkdir /usr/vice/etc
• mkdir /usr/vice/etc/modload
• cp /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-686/fs/openafs.ko /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.6.15-27-686.mp.ko

end of dreck
