How to install OpenAFS on Fedora 9
- 16/11/08 Update: OpenAFS 1.4.8 has been released.
Here’s a quick guide on how to get OpenAFS working on Fedora 9. OpenAFS is an open source implementation of the Andrew distributed file system (AFS).
[spoilt@prodigy ~]$ sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/openafs.repo
and add the following:
[openafs]
name=OpenAFS 1.4.8 for Fedora $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.8/fedora-$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
[spoilt@prodigy ~]$ sudo yum install openafs dkms-openafs openafs-client
Reboot your computer and start the openafs-client service
[spoilt@prodigy ~]$ sudo /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 openafs-client on
and you’re ready to explore the Andrew distributed File System!
[spoilt@prodigy ~]$ cd /afsthe list is quite big!
[spoilt@prodigy afs]$ ls

- Update for the Mac OS X users -
If you want to install openAFS for MacOS X 10.4 (tiger) or 10.5 (leopard) go to:
http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.7/macos-10.4/ or to http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.7/macos-10.5/ and download the openafs.dmg file =)
for fedora 11 you can use:
[openafs]
name=OpenAFS 1.4.11 for Fedora $releasever – $basearch
baseurl=http://dl.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.11/fedora-$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
also be sure to install GCC, (yum install gcc) or the dkms seems to fail.
