Description Angel Marin 2010-06-15 00:17:39 CEST

The init script refuses to start afsd if it can't find an active interface, but openafs works just fine in such a situation (at least when using -dynroot).

So this'll leave for example any system with NetworkManager managing their network connections without afsd running ...

Please start afsd whether there is an active IP address or not ... or at least do so when -dynroot is enabled.

rm network detection from init.d script

I was bitten by this as well (NetworkManager doesn't get an IP until after I log in). The attached patch strips out the network detection from /etc/init.d/openafs, and it has been working for me.

Thanks for the patch.  I should have this tested/released by the 30th.

Check out openafs-1.4.12.1-3 which should be landing in rpmFusion's testing repos for F-13 shortly.  That contains your patch to remove the IP address check.

Closing.  Fixed in 1.4.12.1-3.  Please re-open if this doesn't work for you.
