DESCRIPTION

arlad runs on AFS client machines. It is used to manage the file cache, fetch files from AFS servers, handle callbacks and manage the authentication information for users.

In normal cases you will not need to run arlad by yourself, a system startup script will start arlad or you can use startarla.

The options are as follows:

−t, −-test

Run in test mode.

−c string, −-conffile=string

Path to configuration file.

−l string, −-log=string

Where to write log [stderr|syslog|path] (default: stderr).

−-debug=string

What to write in the log (default: none).

−d string, −-device=string

The NNPFS device to use (

default: /dev/nnpfs0 ).

−-connected-mode=string

Initial connected mode [conncted|fetch-only|disconnected].

−n, −-no-fork

Don’t fork and daemonize.

−r string, −-rxkad-level=string

The rxkad level to use [clear|auth|crypt] (default: crypt).

−s string, −-sysname=string

Set the sysname of this system.

−-root-volume=string

Name of the root volume.

−-port=number

Port number to use.

−z, −-recover

Don’t recover state.

−-cache-dir=string

Cache directory (

default: /var/spool/afs ).

−D, −-dynroot

Use dynamic root.

−-cpu-usage

System and userland cpu-usage times is appended at the end line that is logged.

−-version

Print version information.

−-help

Print usage information.

FILES
arlad.conf

default configuration for arlad

CellServDB

database with all known AFS servers

ThisCell

default cell (where we get the root directory)

It is highly recommended that the cache directory be a separate file system. If enough memory is available the cache directory could be a mfs to drastically improve performance.
