Hi guys-
So I know IBM released the AFS code to the community at the beginning an=
d that is what became OpenAFS. But from various release notes on the IBM s=
ite, it would seem that IBM continued (and continues) to develop its own AF=
S internally as well.
Does anyone know how far the IBM vs OpenAFS code bases have diverged? I=
know they at least have more AIX ports than the OpenAFS code currently doe=
s...
Does anyone know anyone at IBM that could be asked if IBM would be willi=
ng to re-contribute it's current codebase?
Thanks in advance!
-Ben
