AFS is a distributed filesystem product, pioneered at Carnegie Mellon University and supported and developed as a product by Transarc Corporation (now IBM Pittsburgh Labs).

It offers a client-server architecture for file sharing, providing location independence, scalability and transparent migration capabilities for data.

IBM branched the source of the AFS product, and made a copy of the source available for community development and maintenance. They called the release OpenAFS.

What's New in This Release:
OpenAFS 1.4.0 adds large file support in Unix and Unix-like clients and in servers.
Kerberos 5 integration has been improved. aklog now ships with OpenAFS 1.4.0.
Several new operating system versions are now supported, including Solaris 10 on both SPARC and Intel.
