1 openafs (1.5.73.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
3 This version of the OpenAFS file server is built with demand-attach.
4 Demand-attach completely changes how the file server shuts down and
5 starts up. Instead of detaching all volumes on shutdown and reattaching
6 them on startup, the file server saves state to disk and restores state
7 when starting, enabling it to start far faster. Volumes are only
8 attached when used and are detached again if they go unused for an
9 extended period. Volumes can also be salvaged on demand.
11 Demand-attach is experimental. Please only use this file server for
12 testing. It is not yet ready to run in a production environment.
14 This change REQUIRES changes to your BosConfig file so that the file
15 server will start properly. After installing the new openafs-fileserver
18 bos status localhost -instance fs -long
20 and take note of the flags that you're using with the fileserver and
23 bos stop localhost fs -localauth
24 bos delete localhost fs -localauth
25 bos create localhost dafs dafs \
26 "/usr/lib/openafs/fileserver <fileserver-flags>" \
27 "/usr/lib/openafs/volserver <volserver-flags>" \
28 /usr/lib/openafs/salvageserver /usr/lib/openafs/salvager
30 to create the correct new BosConfig entry for demand-attach AFS.
32 As of this release, the default permissions for /etc/openafs/server are
33 now 0755, matching upstream. The only file in that directory that needs
34 to be kept secure is KeyFile, which is created with 0600 permissions.
35 The directory permissions won't be changed on upgrade, so bosserver will
36 complain now that it is no longer patched to permit restrictive
37 permissions. Once you're certain the per-file permissions of all files
38 in that directory are safe, chmod 755 /etc/openafs/server to make

43 openafs (1.4.4.dfsg1-4) unstable; urgency=low
45 The files previously located in /etc/openafs/server-local have been
46 moved to /var/lib/openafs/local. The OpenAFS fileserver and bosserver
47 write files to this directory on startup which are not configuration
48 files and therefore, per the File Hierarchy Standard, should not be in
49 /etc. Any sysid, sysid.old, NetInfo, and NetRestrict files in
50 /etc/openafs/server-local have been copied to /var/lib/openafs/local.
52 upserver and upclient have moved to /usr/lib/openafs (from /usr/sbin) to
53 match the other programs intended to be run by the bosserver and to
54 match upstream's layout. If you're running upserver or upclient from
55 bosserver, BosConfig has been updated with the new path, but the
56 services have not been restarted.
58 At your convenience, you should restart your servers with:
60 bos restart -all -bosserver
62 so that the running servers will look at the new locations. After doing
63 so, you may remove /etc/openafs/server-local if you wish.
