- Arla (file system)
Arla is an implementation of the AFS
distributed file system developed at theRoyal Institute of Technology inStockholm .Arla was started by
Björn Grönvall in 1993.Assar Westerlund andJohan Danielsson joined the project shortly thereafter. The project died down before it was usable.In the fall of 1997, the project was restarted, starting with Björn's implementation of
rxkad . Assar ported xfs (an arla component, not to be confused with theXFS filesystem) toFreeBSD .Love Hörnqvist-Åstrand began working on it, followed byMagnus Ahltorp , working on theLinux kernel module, andArtur Grabowski , working on theOpenBSD kernel module.Today, Arla has AFS client support for
OpenBSD ,FreeBSD ,NetBSD ,Linux , Solaris,Tru64 andMac OS X . Windows support is on the way, delayed by insufficient Windows knowledge. An experimental AFS server is available, but it is not yet considered stable.External links
