Hi Espen,
Just curious: are you using, or planning, to use OpenAFS now, yourself, on a network using machines with varying OS's ?
I, too, found some "hubris" in the article you linked to, but, in toto, the article had a lot of interesting comparisons of different file systems, and the readers's comments were also interesting.
yours, Bill

It was used at a company I used to work for, and it worked well enough - meaning it never caused me any trouble. I had it installed on my "office" computer, not on any development or test computers - so my use of it was pretty light ...

... but on Friday we were told how the French would win on Saturday. What happened?
ps. Scotland cheated, they hid the ball from the Irish; langers.

The French should have won, but the Scots played a blinder! Well done, and well deserved - I was expecting a lot more of a slaughter from the Irish boys, but they were held back really well. Gripping game, I thought it pretty much the best of the 6 Nations so far - which I did not expect at all. (Mind you, I was expecting Italy to cream our lads given our performance all last year so what do I know?)

How did they play a blinder? They didn't play at all - they had hardly any possession and when they did get it they kicked it away. They just waited for penalties.

What happened is that Saint-André made some bizarre substitutions and turned it from a game where either side could win (the French were probably marginally on top in the play but England were leading 12-10 on the scoreboard) into one where the French were significantly weaker.
Also we got a lucky try that technically shouldn't have been given. It was a game of fine margins until the last 15.

Scotland's game wasn't great but it was a grinding encounter. When Ireland got that penalty in the last move after regulation time I really thought something special was going to happen. Sadly they messed it up but it was a thumping good match all the same.

England were better. Also the French bench was very poor. I was at Murrayfield yesterday, a great match. Scotland always win in the freezing rain its practically a law of Rugby but it was very tight. Exciting to the 81st minute.
