I've just finished setting up AFS on my first server and I also made some 
other cells available.


One thing I didn't see in the installation instructions was a 
\bold{\bigger{\bigger{warning}}} for what can happen when typical cron jobs 
get scheduled.


One job we schedule here every night is to go through the whole filesystem 
tree looking for core files etc.

When /afs was installed, these jobs wasn't changed which resulted in that our 
cron job also went through \italic{all} /afs cells. Fortunately, only 
transarc.com was known to afsd at the time \smaller{\smaller{(hope you didn't 
lose anything folks)}}.


Another job runs weekly builds the find database in the same spitit. 

Gee what a database I'd have half a year later or so when the job would 
eventually be done if I'd set up all the afs cells available in CellServDB!!


Btw, has anyone an idea of how many Tb's (terabytes) there are in the /afs 
tree now ?


Chris.
