Ian Wienand 65991cf92e openafs-client: add service timeout override
Starting the openafs-client service is an intensive operation as it
walks the cache registering various things.  We've seen on our
production ARM64 mirror this can take longer than the 1:30 default
timeout.  This is a fatal issue, as the module will try to unload
while afsd is still spinning and working resulting in completely
corrupt kernel state.

This is about double the longest time we've seen, so should give
plenty of overhead.

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 LTS family with external 1.8 series packages
  • CentOS 7 and 8 with external packages
