Does anyone know how to mount an AFS filesystem (I think it is called an Andrews' Filesystem) on Fedora 22?
I looked around on the web, but did not come up with anything that worked so I thought that I would ask for some advice.
You need a few things working. Kerberos, openafs-client, kmod, and kmod-openafs.
- Kerberos: this is for authentication. You need to set your realms in /etc/krb5.conf. Something like this (of course you have to use whatever is appropriate for your organisation, s/cern.ch/myorg.org/):
[realms] CERN.CH = { default_domain = cern.ch kdc = cerndc.cern.ch }
[domain_realm] .cern.ch = CERN.CH cern.ch = CERN.CH
- openafs-client, kmod, and kmod-openafs: this was provided by RPMFusion, but the maintainer changed jobs where it was not needed anymore and has been orphaned since then. This was about a year ago I think. kmod is available in the normal repos, the openafs bits can now be found on these coprs: jsbillings/openafs, jsbillings/openafs-kmod.
- If you don't want to depend on the timely build of kmods for every kernel update, you have to switch to dkms instead of kmod.
Hope this helps,
