BosLog - Traces BOS Server operations
DESCRIPTION
The BosLog file records a trace of Basic OverSeer (BOS) Server (bosserver process) operations on the local machine and describes any error
conditions it encounters.
If the BosLog file does not already exist in the /var/log/openafs directory when the BOS Server starts, the server process creates it and
writes initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the BOS server renames it to BosLog.old, overwriting the existing
BosLog.old file if it exists.
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 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 BosLog file grant the required "r" (read) permission to all users.
The BOS 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.

Our server at work is a UNIX SCO system. The motherboard in the server went bad, and since the machine (IBM 300GL) is outdated, the PC repair place can't get a part to fix it. They told us that we can have our hard drive (we need to save the data) moved to a new machine, but they are unsure if... (2 Replies)
Hi All,
How do you calculate the BOS filesystem on rootvg(/, /usr, /var, and /opt) and the BLV? So that I could calculate how much space I need on doing multibos.
Any idea will be appreciated, thanks. (0 Replies)
