tlug: CODA distributed filesystem

["Stephen J. Turnbull" <turnbull@example.com>]

Posted a note a couple of days ago about the CODA distributed
filesystem, a follow-on from the AFS project at Carnegie Mellon.
I've since fetched a set of RPMs (they have both source and
binary RPMs available), and discovered that the binaries for the
client would not run because of library mismatches.

I then fetched the source, and after a little tinkering I seem to
have gotten the client up and running: boy, this is really NEAT.

I have written up a set of notes on installation, which I will
happily send to anyone who wants them.

Perhaps TLUG wants CODA filespace for the server and all of its
members?  No more uploads, communal backup ... so many
_possibilities_.  :) As I think I mentioned in the last posting
on this, CODA supports disconnection, so your laptop can be part
of a distributed FS as well.

Cheers,
