Hello, My name is Junsouh Hong, a computer science student currently studying at Carnegie Mellon University (the birthplace of AFS!), and I plan to concentrate in systems engineering in the future. I have some extensive experience in C and a decent understanding of CLIs/low-level systems.
I recently began looking at the OpenAFS codebase, and I checked out the repository to begin reading the source code around the afsio CLI tool and start experimenting with the system. I had a couple questions: 1. Should I look at the existing mount point and ACL commands the code for fs in order to understand how I might implement it in afsio, or would that not be particularly useful? 2. The description of the project mentions "recent changes" that made authenticated use of afsio without a kernel module possible; are there any specific commits that reflect these changes, or in general any changes involving afsio, that I might want to look at for better understanding? 3. Are there any small bugs/issues that a new contributor like me could resolve in order to get familiar with the patch process? 4. How should I continue contact? If I have further questions, should I ask them here, or should I use the IRC chat, or some other method? (My IRC nickname is oranges102) Thank you so much for your time! Best, Jun
