The result is that if afsd is started with "-dynroot", /afs
will be a locally-generated directory, with mountpoints for every
cell in CellServDB (and /afs/.cellname as the rw mountpoint). If
AFSDB support is also enabled, attempting to access /afs/foo will
cause the cache manager to do an AFSDB lookup on foo, similar to
an automounter. Cell aliases become symlinks to the real cell
names under /afs.
Sam's notes:
"Here is a patch that supports directory paths, documentation for the
above and decanonicalization of of supplied paths. Here are tests I
have run:
* Build with both transarc and non-transarc paths and examined
dirpath.o
* Build with roughly FHS-style paths and tested on Debian
* confirmed that bos salvage works even when salvager not in
/usr/afs/bin
(it gets the log correctly too)
* confirms that bos getlog can get logs from /usr/afs/logs even when
/ur/afs/logs
is /var/lib/openafs/logs
* confirmed that bos getlog can get /etc/motd
"
