On
https://www.your-file-system.com/openafs= /auristor-comparison
I have not found a list of supported platforms (client and server)
comparison for OpenAFS and AuriStor. Because if it does not
run on the platform, it's not a replacement.
I have not found a price list of the products and what they contain.
However, there is much "we are better" advertisement. That's = not
something that works well in all cultures.
My conclusion of the current "landscape" is that if you have chos= en a
closed source operating system that you pay money for, in the future
you'll have to pay money for a decent file system as well, either
directly to the OS vendor or to a third party. That will in the future
be necessary for any other function enhancement as well. That trend
will continue and sooner or later include every app(lication) that you
want to run on that platform.
Harald.

What I've learned so far from AuriStor it looks like it could be a
replacement for OpenAFS on the platforms it's available. And it can
more as Jeff tells us. If that strategy is good advertising depends
on "cultural background".

I know that you take "supported" very seriously. I would be happy= if
other software vendors (which are not into file systems) would do that
as well.

Thanks for the list. I guess on "the main HW" which is amd64 for = most
of the OSes above. Both at work and privately I run OpenAFS on
platforms that are not on the list and even in the future will not
have much "customer interest".

I see that this partnership has stopped working in many places. It

I've been rebooting weekly for essentially the entire time I'= ;ve used OS
X (back to Tiger on PPC) because of various memory leaks that become
evident as slowness and failure of some services after about a week of
operation. I am not sure this is what Ted is getting at, though.
(Granting that my normal use of pretty much any system is likely to be
regarded by others as a stress test. :)
