First, email. That system I referenced ealier with the full 10G AFS cache was an imap server that is serving 5-10 users email from maildir format mail spools on AFS. I'd use a 40GB afs cache if it was feasable. I like having lots of source trees in AFS. The linux kernel is 425M unpacked. Multiply that by 4 or 5 versions I might want to diff between. I'd also rather have users doing development keep their source trees in afs as well.. but this means having large, *fast* client caches. Systems don't need large caches.. users do. I'm also moving my MP3 and digital camera images into my AFS cell on my home systems. I also want to be able to use the 20GB free on my laptop as an AFS cache. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
