Instantafs is a concept for interactively creating AFS-cells which I decided to avoid ldap for. I never intended to use it for bigger cells but when i tried it in my ~150 PC cell, it outperformed the ldap-uid-name-resolution - so I kept using it. > I'll bet you also haven't tried it with a fileserver down. Yes. Actually, my test cell has some fileservers and one of 3 db-servers down-by-default. The only impact is a short delay on bootup of the afs-client until ptdbnssd marked the db-server down. Did I mention, that the nss-plug is just a very small piece of software, talking to a local server process (ptdbnssd) which does the real PTDB-stuff?
