Re: F22: how to mount AFS directory?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Once you start the OpenAFS client it will by default attach itself at
/afs IIRC. You can change the default in a config file or the command
line.

The way I used AFS a loooong time back, it used Kerberos to
authenticate you to the AFS network, and everything you had access to
was available in that /afs top level structured by Kerberos domains and
then local file system structures. There was no mounting in the
traditional sense. It is one big, cloudy repository that was primarily
used by collaborating scientists. You could browse around and find all
kinds of interesting stuff. :-) I used Scientific Linux (fork of
CentOS) back then, and it had AFS installed by default.

It's a long time ago, so I may be hazy on this.
