Talk:Andrew File System

message: It says: "The Andrew File System heavily influenced Version 4 of Sun Microsystems' popular Network File System (NFS)". but this should be confirmed with credible links or it should be removed. For instance, ZFS influenced BTRFS but we need credible links to establish this fact. Until then, we can not say so.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.114.151.137 (talk) 23:26, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Influence on NFS???

message: Andrew File System#Available_Permissions says:
Files that are to be granted read access to any user, including the owner, need to have the standard UNIX "owner read" permission set. This can be done with the command chmod o+r filename.
For Linux's chmod it's "u" for user (i.e., "owner") and "o" for other (and "g" for group).  Is UNIX really different? Chmod seems to indicate not. EdDavies 19:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you are correct and the article is wrong. However, even corrected, I think there is no point in having the chmod invocation listed. It is only appropriate for the user, and the sentences read "users...,including the owner," so it is wrong in the other cases anyway. -- Jon Dowland 12:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Owner" permission

message: It looks like RedHat is starting to implement a new AFS system directly in the Linux kernel, so later, this article will need updated from 3 to 4 implementations.

:: that's an extremely bare-bones, unauthenticated client used for booting off of AFS... it's not a replacement for arla or openafs... it's just enough to get a readonly root fs mounted and the machine up.  Megacz 15:54, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is still worthy of mention. -- Jon Dowland 12:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're right.  And, it turns out that it's being actively developed.  Megacz 15:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
