This presentation will introduce the deployment status and activities of AFS at IHEP. AFS (Andrew File System) is a distributed file system that provides namespace architecture aimed at dispersed computing environments and a set of tools geared toward ease of use and manageability. AFS was firstly deployed in IHEP 10 years ago, which worked as home directory for all users in IHEP. During...

Microsoft Windows differs from UNIX/POSIX in significant ways with regards to the management of directories, symlinks, mount points (aka junctions) and file system object metadata. This talk will describe the design of the OpenAFS Windows client with a focus on reparse points and path processing. The real world designs of publicly visible cells will be examined with a focus on those that...

Some discussion on what led to the rxkad updates and what value they bring to the table... and what they do not.

In 2012, I presented about the prototype "Out of Band" project, a
project to allow OpenAFS bulk network communication over protocols
besides Rx/UDP (such as TCP). Per the original plan, OOB has since been
partially redesigned in order to address shortcomings in the original
design. This new implementation fixes various problems, allows OOB to be
more easily used for other arbitrary...

Talk
A report will be given on the new features introduced in recent versions of MIT krb5, and what is on the horizon for upcoming releases. Changes in the development workflow will be briefly mentioned (and how they affect contributors), as will some ongoing IETF standardization work.

Talk
A status report will be given on the standardization process for the rxgk security class and its use with the AFS-3 protocol, and the implementation and use of rxgk in OpenAFS. Numerous internal updates and additional features are needed in the OpenAFS codebase in order to make full use of rxgk universal, and these will be discussed as well.

Institutions and businesses are increasingly mandating IPv6 compatibility from their networked applications and systems. The day is approaching when OpenAFS must be able to work with hosts that exclusively use IPv6 addresses. This involves a variety of changes to the OpenAFS codebase and how OpenAFS operates over the wire. This talk will identify the areas where the work to implement IPv6 is...

Many sites have created site-specific AFS dashboards for their
administrators and to address their site-specific needs. In this talk, I
will present AFSmin, an open, redistributable dashboard solution that
anyone in the community can use.
AFSmin is a work in progress, open source AFS dashboard, featuring a
modern UI and easy setup. It can be used for basic monitoring and basic
AFS...

Design, evolution and experience with CERN AFS Backup System (ABS).

The AFS salvager is one of those programs (like the restore part of backup/restore) that are only needed when something has already gone wrong, and must be set right as quickly as possible. In a perfect world, there would be no need for recovery tools like the AFS salvager; servers would always come down cleanly, and filesystems would always be in a consistent and correct state. But we...

Anyone currently administrating AFS who wanted to “look under the hood/bonnet” as it were, will find this review of some the hurtles encountered getting started supporting AFS code helpful. Where is the code, how do you build from the source, simple debug techniques and how to develop/apply a test fix and eventually pushing it upstream will be covered. To drive AFS adoption going forward, the...
