[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Resource / Data Forks

[Joseph Jackson]

At Carnegie Mellon, our undergraduate student labs have user home 
directories on the local disk with parts kept in AFS. Specifically, we put 
all of ~/Library into AFS and also create a convenience link called 
~/MyAFS. You can get a reasonable overview on this web site:

If you want to get a preview of how AFS handles the resource forks, just 
format a spare partition as UFS. That's the traditional file system of UNIX 
systems. Mac OS X handles dual forked files pretty much the same on all 
non-HFS file systems. I've been pleasantly surprised how smoothly it all 
works.
