Ian Wienand 22c5561df3 openafs-client: add option for OpenAFS cache location
Our control plane servers generally have large ephemeral storage
attached at /opt; for many uses this is enough space that we don't
need to add extra cinder volumes for a reasonable cache (as we usually
do on mirror nodes; but there we create large caches for both openafs
and httpd reverse proxy whose needs exceed even what we get from
ephemeral storage).

Add an option to set the cache location, and use /opt for our new
static01.opendev.org server.

An ansible role to configure an OpenAFS client

Note

This role uses system packages where available, but for platforms or architectures where they are not available will require external builds. Defaults will pick external packages from OpenStack Infra builds, but you should evaluate if this is suitable for your environment.

This role configures the host to be an OpenAFS client. Because OpenAFS is very reliant on distribution internals, kernel versions and host architecture this role has limited platform support. Currently supported are

  • Debian family with system packages available
  • Ubuntu Xenial with ARM64, with external 1.8 series packages
  • CentOS 7 with external packages
