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.
