I ran across the below paragraph in an IBM document at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246657.pdf (page 7). When talking about NFSv4, they said: * NFS has evolved into a powerful enterprise file system that enables it to take advantage of today's more powerful servers and storage. Earlier enterprise file systems such as AFS and DFS have architectural limitations that limit their ability to process large files and take advantage of the increased memory and multiprocessor support available in modern servers.* I know that AFS is used extensively at large companies like Intel and IBM. I was wondering how true the above really was??
Large file support may well not have existed when that was written. As to processors, AFS is still largely not MP-fast.
