I have been using openafs on my web servers for some time. Files are stored in afs -- and apache serves them. This is a great combination.I was wondering if anyone is using this on windows; i.e. serving files stored in afs through IIS on windows server 2003.If so, I am interested in any tuning parameters that you might have found good for the cache manager.
32-bit Windows has a maximum cache size of 1.2GB. You really want to use 64-bit Windows if you are going to serve a large working set out of AFS via IIS. That said http://www.secure-endpoints.com/afs/ is currently the UnicodeOAFW pre-release client serving AFS underneath IIS 6.0 on Win2003 SP2 32-bit. The underlying hardware is dual processor Pentium III.
As for tuning, just like any other AFS cache manager deployment, you need to understand your working set. How many files/directories? How much data? Maximum and minimum file sizes? Etc. From that info you can configure the cache manager as per the release notes Appendix A. Jeffrey Altman
