In the Athena Computing Environment, workstations provide computing
power, but files are stored on machines known as "file servers." Currently,
most user and course lockers are kept on file servers running NFS, Sun
Microsystems' Network File System. Over the course of the summer, all
of these lockers will be moved to servers running AFS, Transarc's Andrew
File System.
The first file server to be converted is "Aphrodite," scheduled to start
on Wednesday June 3rd. While a locker is being moved from NFS to AFS the
locker's contents will be inaccessible.
Watch this file for updates to the schedule and for additional information
related to the NFS to AFS migration. For more detailed information pickup the
the document titled "AFS at Athena" in the clusters or in Graphic Arts as
of June 3rd.
