The project in question isn't exporting AFS from a user-mode NFS server; it's creating a translator that runs _entirely_ in user mode, using libuafs. That doesn't necessarily mean writing an NFS server from scratch, but if not, it means substantially modifying an existing one. > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Derek Atkins <[email protected]> >Date: Friday, Apr 9, 2010 1:42 pm >Subject: Re: [OpenAFS-devel] GSOC 2010: Userspace NFS->AFS translator To: >Jeffrey Hutzelman <[email protected]> >CC: Nitish Sharma <[email protected]>, [email protected] > >Jeffrey Hutzelman <[email protected]> writes: > >>> Actually, a translator which provided only unauthenticated access to > AFS would likely be quite useful, and I suspect that alone will be a > fairly substantial piece of work.
