CODA-CLIENT-SETUP(8)

NAME

coda-client-setup - setup a Coda client (venus)

SYNOPSIS

coda-client-setup [default.realm.name] [cachesize in kb]

DESCRIPTION

The coda-client-setup command takes a default Coda realm name and a cache size given in kilobytes. coda-client-setup then performs the following operations:

• Creates any missing directories, for example the /coda mount point.
• Creates /etc/coda/venus.conf and sets the cache size given on the command line.
• Creates /dev/cfs0 if not already present.

EXAMPLE

# coda-client-setup testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu 100000

Sets up, /etc/coda/venus.conf, so that Coda will as a default authenticate against the testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu realm and configures venus with a 100MB cache.

BUGS

The [cachesize in kb] option to coda-client-setup is not very smart. In fact, it is quite dumb. No abbreviations are allowed after the number and the number is taken literally to be kilobytes.
