OpenAFS

The 2021 AFS Technologies Workshop will be a Virtual Event held on June 14-16, 2021.

Sine Nomine Associates is pleased to announce the availability of the pre-release OpenAFS package for the recent Apple macOS Big Sur operating system. This pre-release provides an easy-to-install package for organizations and individuals seeking to access the AFS distributed filesystem on the macOS platform.

On October 2, 2020, OpenAFS announced the development release of OpenAFS 1.9.0 for UNIX/Linux. According to the article, "OpenAFS 1.9.0 is the first in a series of OpenAFS development releases intended to facilitate testing of new features."

Twenty years ago, on October 31, 2000, the OpenAFS project was born by a small group of individuals at CMU (Carnegie Mellon University)--its corpus owing to the generosity of IBM, which cast forth a largely complete version of its AFS 3.6 source tree under the IBM public license on October 31, 2000.

OpenAFS 1.8.6 is the next in the current stable series of OpenAFS releases for UNIX/Linux systems. It brings performance improvements, improved diagnostics, support for the latest Linux mainline kernel (currently 5.7) and macOS 10.15 "Catalina", and a number of bug fixes.

Note that aklog and klog.krb5 will now require the -insecure_des switch in order to work with the weak and deprecated single-DES encryption types.

OpenAFS 1.8.6pre2 is the first beta for the next stable release of OpenAFS. It brings performance improvements, improved diagnostics, support for the latest Linux mainline kernel (currently 5.6) and macOS 10.15 "Catalina", and a number of bug fixes.
