Das Medium E-Mail

Zwei super Artikel zum Thema “wie schreibe ich eine E-Mail richtig?”:

Beides wunderbar zu lesen, nicht all zu technisch und beide haben ja sooo Recht.

Eine gut aufgebaute und geschriebe E-Mail liest sich nicht wie ein Fresszettel, sondern wie ein schöner Brief. Und wer bekommt nicht gerne solche Post?

…after applying a simple bugfix [...] it is possible to load the nonfs kernelmodule on OpenSolaris Systems. Server and client daemons can be started and everything seems to work OK sofar…

Das gibt doch Hoffnung!

Leicht verspätet – sorry.

The OpenAFS Gatekeepers announce the availability of OpenAFS version 1.4.8.

Und eine gute Nachricht für FreeBSD-Anwender:

Thanks to the work of Matt Benjamin, and before him Garrett Wollman and Jim Rees, FreeBSD client support has been introduced in OpenAFS 1.4.8. Matt provided Transarc-style dest tree builds of OpenAFS 1.4.8 which are now available from the OpenAFS 1.4.8 release page.

OpenAFS für Windows 1.5.55

November 10th, 2008
Comments Off

1.5.55 is the recommended production-ready release of OpenAFS for
Microsoft Windows users. It supports all Microsoft Windows operating
systems from Windows 2000 through Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server
2008 including both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. The 1.5.55
release continues the recent efforts at optimizing the performance of
the Windows client and improving its scalability.

[Quelle: Jeff via openafs-annouce]

In the 1.5.55 release of OpenAFS for Windows, each of the AFS Client
Service, the AFS Explorer Shell Extension, and the command-line tools
are UNICODE character set enabled. No longer is OpenAFS restricted to
accessing file system objects whose names can be represented in the
locale specific OEM code page. This has significant benefits for end
users. Most importantly it permits non-Western languages to now be used
for file system object names in AFS from Microsoft Windows operating
systems. Now that Unicode names are supported, Roaming User Profiles
and Folder Redirection will no longer fail when a user attempts to store
an object with a name that cannot be represented in the OEM code page.

OpenAFS 1.5.50 in debian/experimental

November 3rd, 2008

Debian-User, die keine Lust mehr auf den Client 1.4.7 haben, koennen einen Blick ins “experimental“-Archiv werfen, denn da wartet der 1.5.50er Client auf die Installation.

Die entsprechenden Sourcen muessen natuerlich bekannt sein:
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

apt-get install
openafs-client/experimental openafs-krb5/experimental openafs-modules-source/experimental

Danach noch das Kernel-Modul neu bauen (der module-assistant hilft) und den 1.5.50er Client geniessen.

Getestet unter 2.6.26 sowohl i386 als auch AMD64 – funktioniert soweit ich das sehen kann wunderbar.

Hinweis:
Um nicht beim naechsten dist-upgrade auf experimental zu rutschen, bitte noch folgendes:
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
APT::Default-Release "stable";
bzw.
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
