Actually I think that venus-setup is shipped with Debian GNU packages, but that script is not important anyway. It just tunes your venus.conf file, which you can open and edit manually. > Also some documentation (linuxplanet) tells me to edit the VSGDB file > which I can find on my systems (/vice/db/VSGDB) Yes, the name of this file was changed. > So when I try to create replicated volumes like > > createvol_rep codaroot E0000100 /vicepa > > I get: > > Server E0000100 not in servers file I think the vice-setup script is included in Debian server package. So after installation of the package, just run that script and follow the session transcript from "Quick Server Action" Wiki page. > Last but no least, some doc indicates the use of: > > cfs lv / cfs uk > > to mount/unmount shares > > and other mentions: > > cfs mkm / cfs rmm No, cfs lv is just a convenient way to contact the remote server and make it appear as a directory inside /coda/, such as cfs lv /coda/testserver.cs.cmu.edu . (The "testserver.cs.cmu.edu" appearing in /coda/ after you run that command is a convenient side-effect, and has nothing to do with mounting). cfs mkm and rmm are the actual "mounting" commands, even though you might know that they are very different from the Unix/NFS/Samba style of mounting.
