7 This command defines the fs commands that users and system
8 administrators employ to contact the File Server and to
9 configure the Cache Manager. It assumes the reader is
10 familiar with the concepts described in the AFS System
11 Administrator's Guide.
13 Some fs commands extend UNIX file system semantics by
14 invoking file-related functions that UNIX does not provide
15 (setting access control lists, for example). Other fs
16 commands help users control the performance of the Cache
17 Manager running on their local client workstation. When
18 using fs commands, pay particular attention to the kind of
19 privilege required, as it varies from command to command.
21 Refer to the Command Summary at the end of this document for
22 a complete list of fs commands and their syntax.
24 1.1 Common Arguments and Flags
25 All fs commands accept the following optional flag. It is
26 listed in the command descriptions and is described in
31 This flag has the same function as the fs help command: It
32 prints a command's online help message on the screen. No
33 other arguments or flags should be provided at the same time
34 as this flag. If they are, this flag overrides them, and
35 the only effect of issuing the command is that the help

40 1.2 The Privileges Required for fs Commands
41 The privileges required for fs commands vary more than those
42 required for commands in other suites. Pay special
43 attention to the PRIVILEGE REQUIRED section of each command
46 The various types of necessary privilege include
49 - Having certain rights on a directory's access
50 control list. For example, creating and removing
51 mount points requires ADMINISTER, INSERT, and
52 DELETE rights for the directory in which the mount
53 point resides. Setting a directory's access
54 control list requires certain rights, too.
56 - Being logged in as the super-user "root" in the
57 UNIX file system of the machine on which the
58 command is being issued. This is necessary when
59 issuing commands that affect Cache Manager
62 - Belonging to the system:administrators group in
63 the Protection Database. See the fs setvol
64 command for an example.
66 - No privilege. Many fs commands simply list
67 information and so do not require any special
