I'm considering using OpenAFS on my home system/LAN, but have a few questions first (things thate not quite clear) before I take the plunge.
1. Is AFS a tool that is used on top of existing file systems? Do I still format my partition with ext3 and then add it to OpenAFS ? Or does the partition get formated using the OpenAFS FS? 2. On a setup with multiple drives/shares/partitions how does OpenAFS manage where data gets written? Does it fill up one volume before moving on the next? Does it spread the data evenly between all the volumes? 3. If I remove a drive from the OpenAFS system, will that drive still be readable on it's own? (I guess this will be answered by question 1) Thank you. a. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Basic-OpenAFS-questions-tp18116105p18116105.html Sent from the OpenAFS - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
