The OpenAFS download directories can function as a YUM repository if you create a yum repo config file pointing to the OpenAFS website. Attached is a sample repo yum repository config for OpenAFS 1.6.5 running on RHEL6 and a sample yum repository config for OpenAFS 1.6.5 running on Fedora. You will want to install the following RPMs:
- openafs-compat
- openafs-authlibs
- openafs-server (if running an openafs server)
- openafs-devel (if you want the devel libs)
- openafs
- dkms-openafs (if you want to dynamically build kernel modules ... you will also need the dkms rpm, available from multiple sources)
- openafs-authlibs-devel (again, if you want the devel libs)
- openafs-client (for running the openafs client)
- openafs-docs
- openafs-krb5
- openafs-kernel-source (again, for devel purposes)
After installing AFS, make sure to set the cellname in your ThisCell file to cnf.cornell.edu . The location of the ThisCell file varies depending on your linux distribution. You should also consider increasing the cache size in the cacheinfo file from the default.
