OpenAFS Release Notes - Version 1.2.1 _________________________________________________________________ Linux clients: Major bugfix All other systems: Minor updates _________________________________________________________________ All systems: - com_err implementation is now compatible with all other known implementations. This should have no visible effect to OpenAFS clients and servers; However, users of OpenAFS libraries will need to make sure to include the appropriate headers (99% of such applications will already do so) and any users of previous versions of OpenAFS compile_et or IBM/Transarc compile_et with error tables including lowercase characters in their names will now have new error codes allocated. Again, most users of com_err will use some other compile_et, which is included in most Kerberos distributions and virtually all other com_err using packages. - source cleanup has been undertaken to remove unused variables. This work is part of an ongoing effort. Linux: - All Linux versions have a bug fix to make writes of files larger than the AFS client cache work. This undoes a fix which attempted to correct a problem where some writes neither succeeded nor failed (including cases where a file write to an over-quota volume is being attempted, a problem affecting all OpenAFS versions since release from IBM). - Linux 2.2 PowerPC should install correctly again Digital UNIX: - vfsck will now check for and exit if a partition is mounted. Windows NT/2000: - AFS Configuration Wizard will not check for version >= 3.5 - Makefiles have more complete support for "make clean" OpenBSD: - User processes (but not kernel module/cache manager) included but not ready for general deployment. Documentation: - README.CVS explains how to use OpenAFS CVS - NEWS file updated
