I've decided to try and use the new TFS (Translucent file system) on my
workstations to access a majority of /usr. I have a setup where I want
the workstations to be able to hobble along if the server is down, but
have all available software if the server is up. Seems like a good
solution is to use TFS and keep required software in the front (local)
filesystem and the full set of software (server) in the back filesystem.
So, I tried to set it up. Both these machines have 4.1. They were bought
that way just recently (ie. no upgrades).
But, the documentation on TFS is sparce. I've read everything I can find
in the manuals and online. The problem has boiled down to this:
- none of the required files in /etc have entries for tfs or tfsd in them,
such as /etc/services I have no idea what needs to be added where.
So, if someone has it running, can you please tell me what needs to be
done.
