The AndrewFileSystem: |
| |
|
2 |
* was developed as part of the AndrewProject |
| |
|
3 |
* is a NetworkFileSystem |
| |
|
4 |
* uses full ACLs rather than traditional Unix permissions - see [AFSACLs] |
| |
|
5 |
* supports replication of the filebase across multiple servers for [Reliability] and [Availability] |
| |
|
6 |
* uses [Kerberos] for Authentication ([Kerberos5] prefered, though [Kerberos] 4 is native to OpenAFS) |
| |
|
7 |
* uses "tokens" tied to your UID to your [PAG], which are [Kerberos] 4 tickets stuffed into the kernel |
| |
|
8 |
* can cache files locally for fast access even to files only available to you over a slow link |
| |
|
9 |
* was originally called "Vice" (the Andrew Toolkit was known as 'Virtue') |
| 4 |

10 |
* no longer copies the entire file when it's opened for writing, which is slow for large files |

The [AFS] team went on to develop [Coda] as a research project on DisconnectedOperation, which spun off [Intermezzo], which in turn spun off [Lustre]. |

[AFS] however has not been abandoned and continues to thrive, offering gigantic scaling capacities. |
