Torben-
1- Transarc has had reports of problems with the r* commands. We are in
the process of attempting to duplicate them. At this time, I cannot
provide further information on the status of the r* commands but I
will keep you posted on the progress.
I am looking forward to receiving your debugging output as that may
assist us in tracking down the problem.
2- Yes, the current volume name limit is 22 characters (since space
is reserved for the .backup and .readonly extensions). This limit
will be increased in DCE AFS. It is not a trivial matter to change
this limit in AFS 3 because it is buried in volume headers, the vldb,
etc. We are currently evaluating what would be necessary to increase
this limit in AFS 3.
3- On AFS clients running SUN OS, the output of "ps aux" displays the
afsd processes without names. The "ps" command allows you to
either get names or have messed up load averages. The latter has
real problems since alot of programs defer doing any work until the
load average falls below N. As a result, Transarc has chosen not
to display the names.
4- The pathname "/afs/transarc.com/afs.rel" is no longer a valid
pathname. Please use "/afs/transarc.com/systemtype/usr/afs.rel".
The AFS Fact Sheet will be corrected.
