[comp.soft-sys.andrew] AFS questions

burdick@hpspdra.HP.COM (Matt Burdick) (07/13/90)

I'm interested in finding out about AFS.  Specifically, I'm interested
in the version that Transarc will be providing to the OSF that will
use NCS.

What are the semantics of using it?  If /dopey/usr/tmp is the path to
the /usr/tmp file on machine dopey, are all of the hosts you can
connect to located in the root directory, or do file system calls
recognize that the topmost directory is actually a machine name and
handle it accordingly?  What is an AFS cell anyway?

Can someone point me in the direction of a document that will answer
this sort of question about AFS? 

						Thanks,
