FileLog - Traces File Server operations
The
FileLog file records a trace of File Server (
fileserver
process) operations on the local machine and describes any error conditions it
encounters.
If the
FileLog file does not already exist in the
/var/log/openafs
directory when the File Server starts, the server process creates it and
writes initial start-up messages to it.
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the
/etc/openafs/server/UserList file can use the
bos getlog command
to display its contents. Alternatively, log onto the file server machine and
use a text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX
cat
command. By default, the mode bits on the
FileLog file grant the
required "r" (read) permission to all users.
The File Server records operations only as it completes them, and cannot recover
from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are useful for
administrative evaluation of process failures and other problems.
