Thanks so much !!!

I'm evaluating different distributed file systems for a cloud file
system....

Yes, I said it, cloud.
I've always admired the Andrew concept from the early/mid 80's.

 I like that AFS doesn't attempt to wide stripe data across servers. This
company's model, they have lots of users (maybe 10million)  with lots of
small files that don't need to xfered at 1TB/s. AFS fits that model much
better than Lustre, GPFS, GFS or any of the other supercompute systems.

I have a few more  questions

Can anyone tell me how to calculate the memory requirement for each client
on a server ?

Are the file ACLs the underlying native ux ACLs or are AFS's file ACLs
layered on top ?

The question is really for eval'ing AFS over ZFS and direct support for
WIndows/Samba ACLs.

Is there a time table for the file ACL support ?

thanks again
