Hope you can clarify my on this newbie question:

In AFS I cannot export directories like in NFS, right?


No. If you look into the "volumes" you won't even recognize your data. You can access the data exclusively by the clients.

Everything I do, has to be made in AFS Volumes, right?


Well, not really everything AFS has more than the "volumes", but I think you'll understand.


I have to create all the users accounts, and all the things I want to
"share" in AFS volumes, so that they can be viewed and updated by all
clients that have access to it, right?

Actually there is no "share" in AFS.
At least I won't know who's sharing with whom. That's just a "side effect" of having a distributed file system with it's own access control.


From a user point of view think of AFS as a file system. A file system like a windows partition where you have access from linux for whatever reason.

From the administrator perspective things are different.
