Hallo,
I try using OpenAFS on LAN as fileserver. I want ask for any tips. We have at about 200 Windows and Mac clients and 1TB data.

I have two problems. The first problem is speed on LAN. It is 5x slower as Novell Netware 6.5 or 4.12.

The seccond problem is cache call back. How to set properties of files (for example XLS, Doc files ) when files modifying multiple users. It is possible lock file on the server when the first user open file with RW permissions ?

Is AFS + Object storage solution for me ? Does anybody know any good guide for object storage or docu ? I have read AFS+ Object storage from Hartmut Reuter.
Hi Roman,

5x slower than Novell sounds wrong. Are there any firewalls between the fileserver and clients? Are there any firewalls on the clients or servers?

What versions of openafs are you running on the clients and server?

Locking should work for MS Office documents on windows clients with recent OpenAFS clients and servers.

Object storage is an advanced AFS topic. I recommend getting a normal OpenAFS cell working well and getting some experience before adding object storage to the mix.
