NAME
     afsd - AFS cache manager for xfs

SYNOPSIS
     afsd [-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] [--version]
          [--help] [device]

DESCRIPTION
     afsd runs on AFS client machines.  It is used to manage the file cache,
     fetch files from AFS servers, handle callbacks and manage the authentica-
     tion information for users.  In normal cases you will not need to run it
     by yourself.  It is automatically started when mount_xfs(8) is run.

     The options are as follows:

     -t, --test
             Run in test mode.

     -c string, --conffile=string
             Path to configuration file  (default: /etc/afs/afsd.conf).

     -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 XFS device to use  (default: /dev/xfs0).

     --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: auth).

     -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).

     --version
             Print version information.

     --help  Print usage information.

FILES
     /etc/afs/afsd.conf   default configuration for afsd
     /etc/afs/CellServDB  database with all known AFS servers
     /etc/afs/ThisCell    our default cell (where we get the root directory)
     /var/spool/afs       default cache directory

     It is highly recommended that the default cache directory be a separate
     file system.  When enough memory is available this could be a mfs to
     drastically improve performance.

SEE ALSO

     SuidCells(5)

BUGS
     This code is still in the experimental stage and some bugs are present.
     If afsd happens to crash, it's recommended to restart it with the -z
     flag.  Otherwise a corrupted cache can be reused.
