NAME
AliasDB —
add alias for an afs cell in
dynroot
DESCRIPTION
The file AliasDB add aliases for afs
cellnames in dynroot, useful to add readwrite mountpoints in dynroot.
Each line in the file contains at least two elements with an optional third element. The first element is the cell name to make the alias for. The second element is the alias. The optional third element is describing properties of the mountpoint.
By default, an alias is a readonly mountpoint, which means that
afsd will use readonly replicas of volumes, if they
exist. If an alias set to readwrite, afsd will
disregard the readonly replicas and use the readwrite volumes only. This
will seriously limit performance, but maybe necessary to install software
packages etc.
Each line that starts with a ‘#’ is a comment
EXAMPLE
# This is a comment # cell alias [property] su.se .su.se readwrite e.kth.se .e.kth.se rw cs.cmu.edu cs readonly andrew.cmu.edu andrew #andrew is a readonly alias
