On Saturday August 7, Christoph Hellwig, a Linux kernel developer, gave a presentation at Leeds on Linux filesystems. He said that AFS was a buggy filesystem with a very messy code base, and that people should stay away from openafs, which was particularly unreliable. I don't want to blame Christoph, who seems to have picked up some anti-AFS feeling from some other kernel programmers, but shouldn't we be doing something or other to counter this bad press? I stood up to say that we had been using AFS for about 15 years, and openafs since it came out, and that we were completely satisfied with it.
If he was referring to that "new" implementation in the kernel maybe he's right :-) (just a bad joke)
I usually say to something like that:
"How many programs do you know which run in kernelspace on more than 10 platforms?? Show me their source code"
Most people start counting ... ;-)
BTW how many kernel programmers really use AFS, OpenAFS etc.?? so that they're so shure??
Actually I don't know what is worse ignorance or arrogance.
