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''much'' larger [[Networking|networks]]. OTOH,On the other hand it's 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.
