AFS-Troubleshooting
On this web page you will find known problems and possible solutions for dealing with the AFS.
Connection to AFS on yellow PCs no longer possible
Due to a bug in the OpenAFS client (only version 1.8!) the connection to the AFS file servers may be interrupted after a restart of the daemon.
In this case, a reboot of the machine will not help, only (!) an update of the client using the packages from the Personal Package Archive: OpenAFS will remedy the problem. Only clients on Yellow Desktops with Ubuntu18/20 are affected.
The following quick guides provide instructions on how to perform the upgrade.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
-
sudo systemctl stop openafs-client
-
echo -e "deb http://nims.desy.de/ubuntu bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse\ndeb-src http://nims.desy.de/ubuntu bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-backports.list
-
sudo apt install init-system-helpers/bionic-backports
-
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openafs/stable
-
sudo apt update
-
sudo apt upgrade
-
sudo systemctl start openafs-client
Reboot your PC an check your openafs-version:
-
rxdebug localhost 7001 -ver
This should output:
Trying 127.0.0.1 (port 7001):
AFS version: OpenAFS 1.8.6-5{tilde}ppa0{tilde}ubuntu18.04.1-debian 2021-01-25
