"AFS's permissions model is neither that of Unix nor that of Windows NTFS. (Under certain circumstances, that makes it the worst of both worlds...)"
^ so I see that AFS isn't the answer to serving UNIX compatible filesystems to my linux thinclient. In other words, I can't store all types of unix files on an OpenAFS volume. I couldn't, for example use OpenAFS to serve Linux ThinClients - re: ltsp.org ?
Correct. In particular, neither fifos (named pipes) nor device nodes can be stored in AFS.
