DESCRIPTION
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:
-cstring,--conffile=string- Path to configuration file.
-lstring,--log=string- Where to write log [stderr|syslog|path] (default: stderr).
--debug=string- What to write in the log (default: none).
-dstring,--device=string- The XFS device to use (default: /dev/nnpfs0).
--connected-mode=string- Initial connected mode [conncted|fetch-only|disconnected].
-n,--no-fork- Don't fork and daemonize.
-rstring,--rxkad-level=string- The rxkad level to use [clear|auth|crypt] (default: crypt).
-sstring,--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
- /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
If afsd happens to crash, it's recommended
to restart it with the -z flag. Otherwise a
corrupted cache can be reused.
