<h1 id="preface">"Managing AFS"</h1>
<i> February 2020 </i>
<p>
A little over 20 years ago, I wrote the book "Managing AFS: The Andrew File System" for Prentice-Hall Publishing.
Late last year, a random article on Reddit mentioned that authors could ask their publisher for a "Reversion of Rights" to transfer
copyright back to the author. I asked, and Prentice-Hall graciously agreed.
<p>
So, now, here is the original content of the book, reformatted for the web (html and pandoc formats). Note that the text
refers to AFS as working in 1997 - again, over 20 years ago. The <a href="http://openafs.org/"> OpenAFS </a> organization
has made great progress since then; please refer to their documentation for current workings. And there's also
commercial offering, <a href="https://www.auristor.com/">AuriStor</a>. Both teams have asked in the past for ways to update
the text to current versions. That'll take some work, but I do believe the underlying architecture and data management are
much the same, while the implementation, feature sets, capabilities and performance are quite different.
<p>
The original and reformatted texts are now licensed with a
<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0</a> license, permitting sharing and remixing.
I'll also add the small backstory and some random comments on AFS and the state of distributed computing (a.k.a. the cloud).
