DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     afsd runs on AFS client machines.  It is used to manage  the
file cache,
     fetch  files  from  AFS servers, handle callbacks and manage
the authentication
 information for users.

     In normal cases afsd will  be  started  by  enabling  it  in
/etc/rc.conf.

     The options are as follows:

     -c string, --conffile=string
             Path to configuration file.

     -l string, --log=string
             Where  to  write  log [stderr|syslog|path] (default:
stderr).

     --debug=string
             What to write in the log (default: none).

     -d string, --device=string
             The XFS device to use  (default: /dev/xfs0).

     --connected-mode=string
             Initial connected mode  [conncted|fetch-only|disconnected].

     -n, --no-fork
             Don't fork and daemonize.

     -r string, --rxkad-level=string
             The  rxkad level to use [clear|auth|crypt] (default:
crypt).

     -s string, --sysname=string
             Set the sysname of this system.

     --root-volume=string
             Name of the root volume.

     --port=number
             Port number to use.

     -z, --recover
             Don't recover state.

     --cache-dir=string
             Cache directory  (default: /var/spool/afs).

     -D, --dynroot
             Use dynamic root.

     --cpu-usage
             System and userland cpu-usage times is  appended  at
the end line
             that is logged.

     --version
             Print version information.

     --help  Print usage information.

     It  is  highly recommended that the cache filesystem size is
increased to
     at least few hundred megabytes, and that it  is  made  as  a
separate
     filesystem.   The  cache size is configured in afsd.conf(5).
If enough
     memory is available the cache filesystem could be  a  mfs(8)
to improve
     performance.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

     /etc/afs/afsd.conf   default configuration for afsd
     /etc/afs/CellServDB  database with all known AFS servers
     /etc/afs/ThisCell    default cell (where we get the root directory)
     /var/spool/afs       default cache directory

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     If afsd happens to crash, it's  recommended  to  restart  it
with the -z
     flag.  Otherwise a corrupted cache can be reused.
