This is a web-based collaboration for +collecting, maintaining, and distributing information about OpenAFS, an +open-source implementation of the AFS distributed filesystem. -This wiki is powered by [[ikiwiki]]. +OpenAFS is a caching, distributed, network-based filesystem for securely and +efficiently sharing files over a private network or over the internet. OpenAFS +stores files on file servers. OpenAFS clients read and write data to +the file servers. Data is cached locally by clients, making subsequent reads +very fast. File servers automatically notify clients when data is +changed, keeping data in sync. OpenAFS clients integrate with the client +operating system to create a seamless network file system. Client side support +is provided for wide-range of operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, +Solaris, and Linux. + +### Key features + + * global namespace + * location transparency + * client-side caching + * read-only replication + * access control lists + * kerberos integration + +## Using OpenAFS + + * [[Getting started|/Archive/GettingStarted]] + * [Documentation][3] + * [[Contributed guides and information|/Archive/GuidesAndInfo]] + * [[Frequently asked questions|/Archive/AFSFrequentlyAskedQuestions]] + * A [[list of sites using OpenAFS|/Archive/ListOfSitesUsingOpenAFS]] + * [[Binary Packages Available from Third Parties|/Archive/BinaryThirdParty]] + +## Get involved + + * A [[list of tiny and simple tasks|/Archive/TinySimpleTasks]] + * [[Contributing scripts and tools|/Archive/Contrib]] + * [[Maintaining documentation|/Archive/MaintainingDocumentation]] + * OpenAFS [[developer documentation|/Archive/OpenAFSDevelopers]] + * OpenAFS project [[infrastructure|/Archive/openafsinfrastructure]] + +## Getting help + + * [[Commercial Support|/support/WhereToGetHelp]] + * IRC [chat.freenode.net][4] channel #openafs + * [OpenAFS Mailing lists][5] + * Users and administrators -> OpenAFS-info + * Developers -> OpenAFS-devel + +## About this wiki + + * How to use this [[wiki|ikiwiki]] + * Try out the wiki [[sandbox]] + * [[Site Map|WikiSiteMap]] + * [[Orphaned pages|WikiOrphanedPages]] + * [[Broken links|WikiBrokenLinks]] + +[1]: images/andy_juggles.jpg "Andy Juggles" +[2]: http://www.openafs.org "OpenAFS" +[3]: http://docs.openafs.org/ "OpenAFS Documentation" +[4]: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23openafs&uio=d4 "Freenode webchat" +[5]: https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo "Mailing lists"
