Fellow AFS admins;
I just wanted to thank you all for submitting your comments on the
MR-AFS thread. A couple of thoughts where shared, of which I find the
one from Andy Glew being very innovative! Creating the HSM functionality
on a "disk-block" level is a cool idea! By making HSM transparent to the
operating system connecting to that disk-device, you might be able to
avoid all the fuzz on the filesystem/OS/application/network level. Nice
thought! Made my head spinn an extra round.
>From the comments of the people that responded to my initial query, I
gather there _is_ a interest of getting the MR-functionality into the
product. Officially. From Transarc. The AFS-vendor. We are still waiting
for an "info-afs" comment on this from _Transarc_ though... Maybe next
Decorum?
We also got invaluable experience on the deployment of MR-AFS; create a
new cell, do not extend your existing production cell with the
MR-functionality.
Your contribution to this thread was greatly appreceated
Thank you!
