Greetings OpenAFS Team, My name is Anvit Pusalkar and I'm a B.Tech student at Vellore Institute of Technology, India. I am interested in working on the project "Implement Fileserver Memory Autotuning".
I am an open-source contributor to Ansible, having contributed to minor enhancements. I am proficient in C and have interest in working on system-level projects. I went through the initial PR (https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/11629/) which attempted to add an -auto CLI option in src/viced/viced.c. I think autotuning the OPT_small and OPT_large parameters could be a starting point. Would this be a good approach? We can add a functionality to -auto option to specify memory sizes based on modern requirements. I am currently referring to the research paper published on the Andrew File System (https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Classes/736/Fall2000/Papers/afs.pdf) which mentions benchmarks which can be useful for testing the code. Could you share more insights on this project and other important guidelines? Thank You. Regards, Anvit Pusalkar https://github.com/anvitpusalkar
