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.
Build an OpenAFS kernel module containing a workaround using the following instructions (you may need to install additional devel tools and libraries such as GIT and the Kernel devel libraries on your system):
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
git clone git://git.openafs.org/openafs.git
cd openafs
git checkout --track -b origin/openafs-stable-1_6_x
git fetch http://gerrit.openafs.org/openafs refs/changes/17/12217/1 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
git fetch http://gerrit.openafs.org/openafs refs/changes/70/12170/3 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
git fetch http://gerrit.openafs.org/openafs refs/changes/69/12169/2 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
sh regen.sh
./configure
make libafs |
This will generate: ./src/libafs/`uname -r`/libafs.ko
Find in /lib/modules/`uname -r` the openafs.ko file (this file may be in a subfolder such as extra), and replace it with the above generated libafs.ko (making sure to still call it openafs.ko).
Run depmod -a .
After a reboot, OAFS should now be happy... or you can manually start openafs ( service openafs-client start usually works).
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.
