kafs-preload - Man Page

AFS filesystem configuration preloader

Synopsis

kafs-preload [-Dv] [<configuration file>]

Description

This program loads static configuration into the AFS filesystem, such as preloading cells, setting the workstation cell (@cell), and the system identifier list (@sys).

This program is not usally invoked directly, but rather is usually called from a systemd service unit file.  If the properties sysname or thiscell are changed in the kafs client configuration file running kafs-preload will update the /proc files.

Options

-D

Execute in debug mode.  Instead of writing to various /proc files, write to stdout.

-v

Increase the verbosity of the output.  This may be specified multiple times.

Exit Status

0 - On success

1 - If an error occurs during processing

2 - If a command line error occurs

3 - If bad configuration is detected

Example

​      # kafs-preload -v /etc/kafs/client.conf
​      kAFS: Preloading cell database
​      INFO: rootcell set to ca-zephyr.org
​      INFO: sysname set to x86_64
