I would first like to say 'Thank you' to Sine Nomine Associates for hosting the January 14-16 Hackathon in Leesburg, VA. While I was not able to attend all three days, I enjoyed the two days of design work and development that I was able to attend. My notes on the meeting are as follows:
- Reviewed Extended Unions XDR draft and Tom Keiser submitted a new version to afs3-standardization - Discussed concerns over existing TLV draft, primarily lack of normative reference for GetCapabilities and treating 'DAFS' as a single capability bit. - Discussed status of Perl modules for AFS, including AFS, AFS::Command and AFS::Monitor which led to a discussion/coding session on libadmin. - Reviewed libprot interface and contrasted with libvos to establish a potential plan in how libvos might be refactored to provide a more usable external inteface - Andrew Deason submitted some patches to fix the building of libjafs (Java interface) - Discussed directory space utilization and a 'defrag' functionality. Some developers expressed an interest in adding that capability to the existing volscan tool, as well as add some reporting functionality to volscan so that admins can see how fragmented a given directory is. There were other discussions on even further enhancements to this. - Discussed the in-progress Directory Object draft - Had extensive discussion on the IPv6 situation - Worked on allowing userspace processes to honor dbserver preferences For the others that attended, please feel free to correct any errors or address any oversights/omissions on my part. Thank you, Steven Jenkins
