7.2 How to Determine if AFS is Installed on your System

A special note to CDF and D0 users: Your UNIX systems are not configured to use AFS.

To find out if AFS is installed, issue the command:

% ps -ef | grep afsd

If you get output of the form (note the /usr/vice/etc/afsd):

    root   305     1  0   Sep 30 ?       14:10 /usr/vice/etc/afsd -stat 2800 -dc
ache 2400 -daemons 5 -volumes 128
    root   306     1  0   Sep 30 ?        5:47 /usr/vice/etc/afsd -stat 2800 -dc
ache 2400 -daemons 5 -volumes 128

then it is installed and running on your machine. If you do not get output lines like this, AFS is not installed. However it is still possible that you have access to the AFS file system via a translator[29] service. We discuss translator mode in section 7.9. To check, enter the command:

% df |grep afs

If no output is returned, AFS is not running on your machine in any capacity. If output is returned and the line begins with a node name preceding /afs, for example:

fsut01:/afs                            144000000           0   144000000     0%

then AFS is running in translator mode. (If the output line begins with /afs, then AFS is actually installed on your machine.)
