There are two strategies the File Server can use for attaching AFS volumes at startup and handling volume salvages. The traditional method assumes all volumes are salvaged before the File Server starts and attaches all volumes at start before serving files. The newer demand-attach method attaches volumes only on demand, salvaging them at that time as needed, and detaches volumes that are not in use. A demand-attach File Server can also save state to disk for faster restarts. The B implements the demand-attach method, while B uses the traditional method. The choice of traditional or demand-attach File Server changes the required setup in F. When changing from a traditional File Server to demand-attach or vice versa, you will need to stop and remove the C or C node in F and create a new node of the appropriate type. See L for more information. Do not use the B<-w> argument, which is intended for use by the OpenAFS developers only. Changing it from its default values can result in unpredictable File Server behavior. Do not specify both the B<-spare> and B<-pctspare> arguments. Doing so causes the File Server to exit, leaving an error message in the F file. Options that are available only on some system types, such as the B<-m> and B<-lock> options, appear in the output generated by the B<-help> option only on the relevant system type. Currently, the maximum size of a volume quota is 2 terabytes (2^41 bytes) and the maximum size of a /vicepX partition on a fileserver is 2^64 kilobytes. The maximum partition size in releases 1.4.7 and earlier is 2 terabytes (2^31 bytes). The maximum partition size for 1.5.x releases 1.5.34 and earlier is 2 terabytes as well. The maximum number of directory entries is 64,000 if all of the entries have names that are 15 octets or less in length. A name that is 15 octets long requires the use of only one block in the directory. Additional sequential blocks are required to store entries with names that are longer than 15 octets. Each additional block provides an additional length of 32 octets for the name of the entry. Note that if file names use an encoding like UTF-8, a single character may be encoded into multiple octets. In real world use, the maximum number of objects in an AFS directory is usually between 16,000 and 25,000, depending on the average name length.
