Windows has made it far too much of a pain for many reasons to try to run Windows applications directly out of AFS. For Windows, we use it for data storage almost exclusively. I don't consider this to be an AFS problem per se, more a severe deficiency in the way applications are designed on Windows, but I suppose it amounts to the same thing in the end since it's not like you'll ever get an application vendor to listen to you. > Do any of you (how many of you) also use AFS space for running > applications from? Big apps? Many apps? Yes, extensively, on most every brand of Unix. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
