Most DFS have mechanisms to deal with transient failures, but not as generaous on the time-scale as AFS. I believe, if I recall correctly, these hi-latency, low bandwith recovery mechanism keen design paramters, at least bake in the CMU develop cycples, for AFS? While attractive for your situation, these features might actually be detrimental to a hi_performance distributed cluster's needs for a DFS? > For me, I need to be able to provide Samba filesharing on top of that > layer on 2 different locations as I don't see the network bandwidth to > be sufficient for normal operations. (ADSL uplinks tend to be dead slow) Yea, I'm not going to be testing OpenAFS for my needs, unless I read some compelling publish data on it's applicability to high end clusters best choice as a DFS..... It's probably great for SETI etc etc. James
