Tutorial: How to install OpenAFS on Fedora Server Latest

Introduction

OpenAFS is a powerful distributed file system that allows users to share files and folders across multiple machines in a network. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install OpenAFS on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

• A Fedora Server Latest installation
• Administrative privileges on the server
• A stable internet connection
• Basic knowledge of Linux commands

Installation

1. Start by opening the terminal on your Fedora Server Latest installation.

2. Before installing OpenAFS, we first need to make sure that our system packages are up-to-date. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

   sudo dnf update -y
   

3. Once the update is complete, we can proceed with installing OpenAFS. To install OpenAFS, run the following command:

   sudo dnf install openafs openafs-krb5 -y
   

4. After the installation is complete, we need to configure the OpenAFS client. To do this, open the file /etc/openafs/ThisCell with a text editor, such as nano or vim:

   sudo nano /etc/openafs/ThisCell
   

   In this file, replace "localhost" with the name of your server. Save and exit the file.

5. Now we need to update the configuration file for the OpenAFS kernel module. Open the file /etc/modprobe.d/openafs.conf with a text editor:

   sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/openafs.conf
   

   In this file, add the following line:

   options openafs enable_local_fs=1
   

   Save and exit the file.

6. Next, start the OpenAFS client service:

   sudo systemctl start openafs-client.service
   

7. Check the status of the OpenAFS client service:

   sudo systemctl status openafs-client.service
   

   If the service is running, you should see the message "Active: active (running)".

8. Finally, enable the OpenAFS client service to start automatically on boot:

   sudo systemctl enable openafs-client.service
   

   That's it! You have successfully installed OpenAFS on Fedora Server Latest.
