Installing
Linux
Kernel 4.4 (3.x for Debian/Ubuntu/Mint based distros)
OpenAFS is not currently compatible with Linux kernel 4.4 or higher – you will experience data corruption. Debian/Ubuntu/Mint based distros have backported the kernel patch breaking AFS to 3.x kernels.
Overview
Linux installations vary by distribution. Some distributions may include versions of OpenAFS either stock or as an add-on. Downloads are also available from the main www.openafs.org website.
For linux, be sure to use 1.6.16 17 or greater.
If you need to build your own OpenAFS RPMs from the OpenAFS git source tree, see this page.
