The IBM documentation is excellent. It fact that AFS compiles and runs file systems on HPUX, UNIX, AIX, Linux, Solaris and SunOS is a testimony to a diligent software effort.

I think that we should be fair, and note that OpenAFS exists because IBM decided to open-source the code. They explicitly told people that IBM support for AFS was "on it's way out", and all that is happening now is they are living up to that claim. They could have let all this technology just dry up, but at least they decided to open-source the code that they *could* open-source. If it wasn't for that, the "OpenAFS community" would not be in the shape it is in now. IBM expected us to stand on our own feet, and thanks to a lot of work from various OpenAFS developers, it's clear that the community is able to do that. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
