Line 23:
The file name space on an Andrew workstation is partitioned into a ''shared'' and ''local'' name space. The shared name space (usually mounted as /afs on the Unix filesystem) is identical on all workstations. The local name space is unique to each workstation. It only contains temporary files needed for workstation initialization and symbolic links to files in the shared name space.
The Andrew File System heavily influenced Version 4 of [[Sun Microsystems]]' popular [[Network File System (protocol)|Network File System]] (NFS). Additionally, a variant of AFS, the [[DCE Distributed File System|Distributed File System]] (DFS) was adopted by the [[Open Software Foundation]] in 1989 as part of their [[Distributed Computing Environment]]. Finally AFS (version two) is the predecessor of the [[Coda (file system)|Coda]] file system.
== Implementations ==
There are three major implementations, [[Transarc]] ([[International Business Machines|IBM]]), [[OpenAFS]] and [[Arla (file system)|Arla]]
A fourth implementation exists in the [[Linux kernel|Linux]] [[kernel (computer science)|kernel]] [[source code]] since at least version 2.6.10.<ref>[http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt?v=2.6.10 Linux kernel AFS documentation for 2.6.10]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Committed by [[Red Hat]], this is a fairly simple implementation still in its early stages of development and therefore incomplete as of January 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120801110657/http://lxr.linux.no/linux/Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt|deadurl=yes|title=LXR linux/Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt|author=|date=1 August 2012|archivedate=1 August 2012|website=linux.no|accessdate=23 April 2018}}</ref>
