Description

AFS distributed filesystems can be accessed or served through an open-source implementation. It is useful for universities, labs, and organizations that still rely on AFS cells for shared network storage.

Distributed filesystems handle authentication, permissions, caches, and shared data. Configure Kerberos, cell trust, and cache behavior carefully before production use.

How to run
