Anyone take a look at this ? http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/ Why is Coda promising and potentially very important? Coda is a descendant of AFS 2, and has many features that are badly needed by network filesystems, and which currently are only partly implemented in commercial products: 1.is freely available under a liberal license 2.high performance through client side persistent caching 3.server replication 4.security model for authentication, encryption and access control 5.disconnected operation for laptops 6.continued operation during partial network failures in server network 7.network bandwith adaptation 8.good scalability 9.well defined semantics of sharing, even in the presence of network failures -- -[ Philippe Regnauld / sysadmin / regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk / +55.4N +11.3E ]- "Pluto placed his bad dog at the entrance of Hades to keep the dead IN and the living OUT!
