Is anyone using optical disks on an AFS server for the AFS
partitions?
There are a number of Optical disk jukebox devices with a disk
cache which claim to to attach to a Sun of RS/6000 and appear as
a large disk.
If the claims are true, using one of these for an AFS partition
could provide large amounts of cheap storage with all the
advantages of AFS.
There are a number of vendors of mass storage archiving systems
which provide both the optical disks and a server with lots of
their own server software. That's not what I want. I want to use
our current Sun servers with our current AFS 3.2.
(Looking back at my mail, I noticed that [EMAIL PROTECTED]
asked this same question on July 10. I do not recall seeing any
responses to that inquire.)
