Type: REG_SZ

Default: "/afs"

Variable: cm_mountRoot

Name of root mount point.  In symlinks, if a path starts with cm_mountRoot, it is assumed that the path is absolute (as opposed to relative) and is adjusted accordingly. Eg: if a path is specified as /afs/athena.mit.edu/foo/bar/baz and cm_mountRoot is "/afs", then the path is interpreted as \\afs\all\athena.mit.edu\foo\bar\baz.  If a path does not start with with cm_mountRoot, the path is assumed to be relative and suffixed to the reference directory (i.e. directory where the symlink exists)

Regkey: [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters]

Type: REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ

Default: "%TEMP%\AFSCache"

Variable: ConnDeadtimeout

When the value is 0, this setting is configured to be one-half the HardDeadTimeout value.

Regkey: [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters]

Type: DWORD

Default: 0 (seconds)

Variable: HardDeadtimeout

The Hard Dead Time is enforced to be at least double the ConnDeadTimeout.  The provides an opportunity for at least one retry.

The value 0 seconds means that the real timeout should be set to be equal to the minimum SMB timeout which can be configured in the registry at:

[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanworkstation\parameters]

SessTimeout

If the minimum SMB timeout is not specified the value is 45 seconds.  See http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q102/0/67.asp

Regkey: [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters]

Type: DWORD

Default: 0 (seconds)

Variable: IdleDeadtimeout

The Idle Dead Time determines how long the cache manager will wait for an RPC to complete when the service is responding that it is busy. If the timeout occurs on a replicated object, the cache manager can choose to fail over to an alternate replica. This value is typically the same as the ConnDeadTimeout.

Regkey: [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters]

Type: DWORD

Default: 0 (seconds)

Variable: NatPingInterval

The NAT Ping Interval determines how frequently a low-level Rx ping packet is sent to every file server using an anonymous connection. The value 0 seconds disables the functionality. A non-zero value activates the NAT ping behavior. This option can be enabled on clients that access AFS file servers from behind a NAT or port mapping firewall that maintains a short timeout on UDP port mappings. In this case the AFS cache manager may not receive AFS callbacks from the file server. This registry value should be set to a number of seconds shorter than the port mapping timeout period. When there is no other information to go on, a value of 20 seconds can be used.

0: do not perform GiveUpAllCallBacks RPCs

1: perform GiveUpAllCallBacks RPCs

Regkey: [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters]

Type: DWORD {0, 1}

Default: 0

Determines whether or not the AFS Cache Manager will will make use of the volume version information reported by the file server as part of the AFSVolSync data structure. Use of volume version information can significantly reduce the number of FetchStatus RPCs issued on objects stored in read-only volumes. This functionality is disabled by default because all OpenAFS file servers older than OpenAFS 1.4.10 failed to include valid volume version information as part of the BulkStatus and InlineBulkStatus RPCs.

0: do not make use of volume version information

1: make use of volume version information

Specifies the directory containing the CellServDB file.  When this value is not specified, the ProgramData directory is searched and if the CellServDB file is not found, the AFS Client install directory is used.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: 0x1

This value can be used to disable the runtime verification of the digital signatures applied to afsd_service.exe and the OpenAFS DLLs it loads.  This test is performed to verify that   the DLLs which are loaded by afsd_service.exe are from the same distribution as afsd_service.exe.  This is to prevent random errors caused when DLLs from one distribution of AFS are loaded by another one.  This is not a security test.  The reason for disabling this test is to free up additional memory which can be used for a large cache size.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: 0x0

This value can be used to debug the cause of pioctl() failures.  Set a non-zero value and the pioctl() library will output status information to stdout.  Executing command line tools such as tokens.exe, fs.exe, etc can then be used to determine why the pioctl() call is failing.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: 0x0 (MiniDumpNormal)

This value is used to specify the type of minidump generated by afsd_service.exe either when the process crashes or when a user initiated is dump file is generated with the "fs.exe minidump" command.

Valid values are dependent on the version of DbgHelp.dll installed on the machine.  The best version to use is not the version that comes with the operating system but the version that is included in the most recent release of " Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows".  See the Microsoft Developer Library for further information.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: 0x1

This value can be used to disable the use of SMB Asynchronous Store operations. 

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: 32

This value determines the size of SMB Asynchronous Store operations. This value can be used to increase the write performance on higher speed networks by increasing the value. The value must be a multiple of the cache buffer block size and cannot be larger than the cache manager chunk size. The specified value will be adjusted to enforce its compliance with these restrictions.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: 0x0

This value can be used to force the AFS Client Service to store filenames using the Windows system's ANSI character set instead of the OEM Code Page character set which has traditionally been used by SMB file systems. 

Note: The use of ANSI characters will render access to files with 8-bit OEM file names inaccessible from Windows.  This option is of use primarily when you wish to allow file names produced on Windows to be accessible from Latin-1 UNIX systems and vice versa.

This value is ignored now that all file names are processed as Unicode and stored on the file server as UTF-8.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CSCPolicy]

Type: REG_SZ

Default: <none>

This key is used to map SMB/CIFS shares to Client Side Caching (off-line access) policies. For each share one of the following policies may be used: "manual", "programs", "documents", "disable".

When set to 1 all server configuration provided in the registry or the CellServDB file is ignored and DNS AFSDB lookups are used instead.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CellServDB\<Cell Name>]

Type: REG_SZ

Default: <none>

This value names an alternative cell to which this cell should be linked. When two cells are linked by the OpenAFS client, volume lookups that fail in the specified cell will be searched for in the linked cell and when tokens are requested for one of the cells they will be obtained for both. This functionality can be used for example to develop a test cell that is equivalent to a production cell with the exception that it substitutes test versions of volumes for the production versions. Another use is to assist in the transition from one cell name to another.

See also: Linked Cells.

Type: REG_SZ

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CellServDB\<Cell Name>\<Server>]

Default: <none>

This value is used to specify a fully qualified domain name appropriate that matches either a DNS A or DNS CNAME record. If provided, this value supercedes the name of the <server> key. It is recommended that the value of this field be terminated with a period in order to avoid the use of domain substitution during the gethostbyname() evaluation.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CellServDB\<Cell Name>\<Server>]

Type: REG_SZ

Default: <none>

If the DNS host name lookup fails this value will be used as the IPv4 address for the server.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CellServDB\<Cell Name>\<Server>]

Type: REG_DWORD

Range: 0..65535

Default: 0

Note: Kerberos524 and Kerberos4 cannot be used with 64-bit Kerberos for Windows.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Realms\<Realm Name>\<Cell Name>]

Type: REG_SZ

Default: <none>

This key is used to specify the realm to be used when acquiring AFS tokens. If not specified, the realm will be determined by performing a domain to realm mapping on the domain of a random volume location database server for the cell.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Submounts]

Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ

Default: <none>

This key is used to store mappings of UNIX style AFS paths to submount names which can be referenced as UNC paths.  For example the submount string "/athena.mit.edu/user/j/a/jaltman" can be associated with the submount name "jaltman.home".  This can then be referenced as the UNC path \\AFS\jaltman.home.

These values used to be stored in afsdsbmt.ini

NOTE: Submounts should no longer be used with OpenAFS. Use the Windows Explorer to create drive mappings to AFS UNC paths instead of using the AFS Submount mechanism.

Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\Server Preferences\VLDB]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: <none>

This key is used to specify a default set of VLDB server preferences. For each entry the value name will be either the IP address of a server or a fully qualified domain name.  The value will be the ranking.  The ranking will be adjusted by a random value between 0 and 15 prior to the preference being set.
