OpenAFS is a distributed file system that allows users to share files and access them from different computers. Here are the steps to install OpenAFS on Fedora CoreOS Latest:
Before proceeding with the installation, you will need to:
Update your system's package cache:
sudo dnf update
You need to install the following dependencies:
sudo dnf install openafs openafs-client
Once the installation is complete, you need to modify the /etc/openafs/ThisCell file to set the local cell name:
sudo nano /etc/openafs/ThisCell
Replace the default openafs.org with your cell name and save the file.
To start OpenAFS services, run the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable openafs-client
sudo systemctl start openafs-client
sudo systemctl status openafs-client
You can mount AFS volumes using the fs command. Here is an example:
sudo fs mkm /afs/example.com
sudo fs mkm /afs/example.com/public
sudo fs mkm /afs/example.com/private
The above commands create three directories in the AFS file system under the example.com cell.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install and configure OpenAFS on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You also learned how to start OpenAFS services and mount AFS volumes.
