> From my experience I know that in doing anything,  there is usually a lot
> of ideas and methods and conventions that accumulates from people's
> experience of doing things the hard way, making mistakes, and working with
> people who have more experience.   It is usually refered to as common
> wisdom.

> As I have no personal experience with AFS and never worked with anyone who

> For example, I've seen recently mentioned that it is a "Good Thing"(tm) to

> know what problem(s) that solves. What are the common backup practices?
> What are the common fault tollerance practices? What bugs and pitfalls I
> should watch out for?
>
> If there isn't such a depository, I am willing to donate some web space to
> build it - IF people are interested in contributing their ideas to it?
