I'm exploring possible distributed file systems for use by a small
development group. We are located in three different sites, connected
through VPNs routed over the internet. NFS requires too much bandwidth
to be really usable. I originally thought that the Andrew File system
might be the thing to use. When I went to look for that I found the
coda file system. It seems like a good candidate except for all the
warnings that it should not be used for "production".
We are a small development group and can tolorate _some_ instability,
but not too much. Would coda be suitable?
Is the Andrew File System still out there somewhere and would that be a
suitable alternative?
I got the server and client working on a linux system. I then installed
the clinent on a lap top running win98. the client works, but 'clog'
crashes with a stack overflow. I saw someone else asking about this on
the codalist. Perhaps I could get the fix for it?
Thanks,
