I am in the midst of installing and deploying an OpenAFS cell. I've been a sysadmin for a long time, but I've never used AFS before, and only found it because I was looking for an alternative to NFS/Samba/etc. It took some time, but I now have a more or less working setup, almost ready to depoy. But before I deploy
>From my experience I know that in doing anything, there is usually a lot of ideas and methods and conventions that accumulates from people's experience of doing things the hard way, making mistakes, and working with people who have more experience. It is usually refered to as common wisdom. As I have no personal experience with AFS and never worked with anyone who had it, I am at a disadvantage here. I was wondering if somewhere there is a depository of such common wisdom and ideas on the web. For example, I've seen recently mentioned that it is a "Good Thing"(tm) to have each user's home dir on their own volume - but it would be nice to know what problem(s) that solves. What are the common backup practices? What are the common fault tollerance practices? What bugs and pitfalls I should watch out for? If there isn't such a depository, I am willing to donate some web space to build it - IF people are interested in contributing their ideas to it? -Michael _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
