NAME

viced - Start up Andrew File System Daemon (venus2)

SYNOPSIS

/etc/viced [ -f ]

DESCRIPTION

/etc/viced creates /etc/vstab according to several parameters found in /etc/rc.config: startvenus, venus_cache, andrew_servers, and andrew_dir.  See rc.config(5) for a description of these parameters. 

On full and reduced systems viced determines how big the AFS cache should be using the following algorithm:

<Cache Size> = MIN(12MEG, 17/20 of available space). 

On minimal systems viced uses:

<Cache Size> = MIN(12MEG, 3/5 of available space). 

In either case viced requires that at least 2MEG of disk space is available for the cache. 

After creating /etc/vstab, /etc/viced verifies that venus, startvenus, venus_cache, and andrew_dir (all specified and described in /etc/rc.config) are all present.  If so, viced exec’s startvenus. 

If the -f flag is specified, viced verifies that there is already an existing /etc/vstab file, and exec’s startvenus.
