AFSv7 is compatible with SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) and SAN (Storage Area Network) storage.
NAS (Network-Attached Storage) should be avoided.
AFS largest files can be found in the following directories:
Server | Directory | Minimum recommended size |
Indexing (AIF) | /usr/local/afs7/PaF | 50 GB |
Reply (AFS) | /usr/local/afs7/reply | 50 GB |
Back Office/Update Manager | /usr/local/afs7/bo-ac | 150 GB |
It is necessary to provide for each of these directories a partition with sufficient storage capacity.
This table shows the minimum recommended size, but it can be increased according to customer requirements.
