Abstract
AFS is a world-wide distributed file system that supports several advantages over NFS, like better administration and availability. Arla is a free AFS-client, today available for a number of systems for which there are not any Transarc clients. Porting it to new systems is not hard. Arla also has some disconnected functionality and supports encryption of the data stream, features that are not present in the Transarc code. Our preliminary measurements of the unoptimized code shows that the performance of Arla is close to that of UFS.
