AFS is a distributed network filesystem that originated from + the Andrew Project at Carnegie-Mellon University. OpenAFS is an + open-source implementation of the AFS protocol derived from IBM + AFS, which was released under the IBM Public License. OpenAFS + on &os; (the net/openafs port) is suitable for light + use, but is not yet production ready.

We got a chance to pick up this porting project after some + hiatus. Recent work focused on investigating the bugs preventing + the use of a disk cache for caching file data. An internal + "lookupname" abstraction was intended to return an unlocked, + referenced vnode, but instead returned a locked, referenced + vnode, leading to various failure modes depending on the number + of kernel debugging options enabled.

+ + + + Track down an issue involving incorrect reference counts on + the AFS root vnode that cause warnings on shutdown. + + Audit the locking in all the vnode operations code — + it is expected that there remain some incorrectly locked areas, + though none that present visible issues under light load. + +
