Subject: Unix-server configurations Author: Rich Draves Date: Mar. 9, 1992 -------------------------------------------------------- As of UX33 the default configuration for the Unix server contains SunOS derived support for NFS and Transarc derived AFS code. This is the configuration that we build and run at CMU. We do not run straight NFS code and we do not have permission to distribute AFS code to anyone. Thus those of you who are suping the Unix server sources will need to change the CONFIG specified in the file ux/Makefile-config. The recommended CONFIG for non-CMU sites is STDVICE+WS. The following is a brief desciption of the configurations available: The STDAFS+WS, STDVICE+WS, and STD+WS configurations all build. STDAFS+WS has AFS & NFS support. STDVICE+WS has mapped file IO and mapped U-area optimizations. The default configuration is STDAFS+WS. If you sup, this configuration won't build. You want to build STDVICE+WS. The STDVICE+WS configuration recognizes fast symbolic links but doesn't create them. The STDAFS+WS configuration creates fast symbolic links. If you only run STDVICE+WS, you don't need a fast-symbolic-link-cognizant fsck. The STDVICE+WS configuration has been tested only briefly. (The Mach project uses STDAFS+WS exclusively.) However, UX33 STDVICE+WS is quite similar to UX28 STDVICE+WS so it probably works OK.
