Hi!

Thx! I could not found any other alternatives but coda for the things
I need. Unfortunately coda would be too perfect. It knows too much.
I would only have one server, acting as an SCM. And many other
ordinary servers would actually use a share on the SCM. (From the
SCM's point of view the other ordinary servers are the cleints of it.)
The main importance was: client-side and writeback caching, persistent link,
encryption and authentication. Because of these NFS not good anymore.
Anyway, on the ordinary servers I set up a samba share for the coda
directory, and windows support is not a problem any more for the
clients... :) (It is a 3 level architecture:
clients-clientserver-serverserver)
Don't you know other implementations (networked filesystem) with easier set-up (than coda) with those
requirements above?

JH> Hmm, that is strange. Could you try 'strace -e chdir,open codasrv', the
JH> server should at some point 'chdir("/vice")' and then try to
JH> 'open("db/vicetab", O_RDONLY)'. I'm curious what kind of error it got on
JH> either of those.
Basically, because of performance reasons, I had to install coda on my
preexisting RAID volume. (So could not repartition the whole server,
sincs it is working and not a new installation.) so the vicedir has
been set to /var/spool/coda/vice. The logs put to /var/spool/coda.
