[OpenAFS-devel] afs-nfs translator

[Thomas Vincent]

75% of the people on this list have been AFS users before OpenAFS existed.
The other 25% of people, like myself, did not consider it as a option , or
see the need for it before recently. I have a lot of Network Appliance
NetApp's on campus. Some of these clusters I want to give the option of
moving off NFS. They don't want to throw away their NetApp's. A NFS
translator would solve this problem.
I find a lot of companies get NetApp's and then realize the drawbacks' of
NFS later. They can't afford to throw away the 100K they just blew on this
NetApp.

Cheers,
Thomas Vincent
