Yes, it is possible to run both AFS and NFS on the same system but you should start AFS first. In IBM’s AIX 3.2, your /etc/inittab would contain: rcafs:2:wait:/etc/rc.afs > /dev/console 2>&1 # Start AFS daemons rcnfs:2:wait:/etc/rc.nfs > /dev/console 2>&1 # Start NFS daemons With AIX, you need to load NFS kernel extensions before the AFS KEs in /etc/rc.afs like this: #!/bin/sh – # example /etc/rc.afs for an AFS fileserver running AIX 3.2 # echo “Installing NFS kernel extensions (for AFS+NFS)” /etc/gfsinstall -a /usr/lib/drivers/nfs.ext echo “Installing AFS kernel extensions…” D=/usr/afs/bin/dkload ${D}/cfgexport -a ${D}/export.ext ${D}/cfgafs -a ${D}/afs.
