AFS: Difference between revisions

AFS is the Andrew File System aka Advanced File System, similar to [[NFS]] to about the same degree that a tricycle is similar to a fighter jet – they're both typically one-person vehicles. AFS is a drastically more robust design than NFS, and is intended for ''much'' larger [[:Category:Networking|networks]]. On the other hand it is also much more difficult to implement completely – to the point that it's not likely to be of much interest to most hobbyists and such writing a new OS.
