AFS
Distributed file system over TCP/IP, based on client/server model.
Sharing of files over the Internet.
Provides security- authentication and Access Control List.
Caching - less vulnerable to Internet problems.
All STAR files in RHIC cell: /afs/rhic.bnl.gov
When setting up the site.
Free software from www.openafs.org
All that is needed is the AFS client only.
AFS module is loaded into Linux kernel.
File /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell has to contain rhic.bnl.gov.
In file /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB is list of available AFS cell servers. This list has to contain the rhic.bnl.gov cell. If RHIC servers change this file has to be updated! It can be copied from any rcas machine.
Configure your cache in /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo. This influences the performance.
Make sure your AFS can see through your firewall.
