SYNOPSIS
arlad [-t | --test] [-c string --conffile=string] [-l string --log=string] [--debug=string] [-d string --device=string] [--connected-mode=string] [-n | --no-fork] [-r string --rxkad-level=string] [-s string --sysname=string] [--root-volume=string] [--port=number] [-z | --recover] [--cache-dir=string] [-D | --dynroot] [--cpu-usage] [--version] [--help] [device]
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.
