I am trying to see if OpenAFS fits my needs as a distributed filesystem and is a bit stuck. There are docs but they're all quite hard to understand, so asking for some expert advice here. My questions:
- which version to install? I need windows client support so I need 1.5 - right? But it is not stable.. Or is it? And don't see any pre-built rpms for it, so compiling from sources?
- tried to compile and it worked but it created a non-"mp" kernel module while my kernel needs an mp one - how to workaround that?
- do I really need a new fresh partition to start with or I can re-use an existing one and just make it available via afp?
- any nice HOWTOs around?
