It's been a while since I've seen a '/afs/...' path.
- pjmlp 14y agoWell, back in 2003 it was still quite used at CERN, not sure about nowadays.
- spicyj 14y agoIt's still used at CMU, at least.
- danielweber 14y agoIf anywhere it should be there, since it's named after the those two Andrews. MIT was big into it back in the day, not sure about now.
- jfb 14y agoI used it a lot at Chicago in the early '90s, then never again. I always liked the idea, but Jesus Haploid Christ was it ever a PITA to set up (I'm looking at YOU, Kerberos.)
- gliese1337 14y agoMy high school used AFS and Kerberos at least up to 2007 (when I graduated, and my first-hand knowledge ends). Agreed on the pain.
- pldrnt 14y agoIt still is!
- numeromancer 14y agoI see AFS every day. When we moved into our current house, my daughter, whose initials are AFS, got hold of a Sharpie and proceeded to initial every surface in the house she could get to until my wife found her and curtailed her exhuberant tagging. I still (12 years later) find “AFS” scrawled in places I didn't know she had so tagged. And we haven't had the heart to remove them all anyway.
- emmelaich 14y agoRelated: the latest (1.7.x) OpenAFS for Windows is a native Windows file system. http://www.openafs.org/windows.html http://www.openafs.org/windows.html That's pretty cool I think. I don't use it now, but I'm tempted to use it to share between Windows and Linux instead of say Samba.
