[OpenAFS] Status on disconnected operation support?

[Jim Rees]

I have a pile of code that implements disconnected operation for afs, and
it's just waiting to be merged in after I finish the OpenBSD port.

It's based on Transarc afs 3.3 so the merge is not going to be easy.  Some
of the code is already there in the cvs head; search for AFS_DISCON_ENV.
The rest will probably go in on a branch.  It's a big enough change that I
don't want to just drop it in.

We have a number of papers on our implementation.  You can find them on the
CITI tech reports web page:
