I don't think we're there yet. My concern with not making it the default isn't that people miss out on the latest greatest DAFS-tastic features or whatnot. It's that the non-DAFS fileserver in 1.5 may be less stable than the DAFS one, because I don't think it gets anywhere near the same testing that DAFS does. I mean, other people can correct me, but generally the primary reason anyone wants to run a 1.5 server is specifically for DAFS. So, the number of people trying to run a 1.5 fileserver without DAFS is... much smaller than the number of people willing to run a 1.5 fileserver at all. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
