      3 Coda is a distributed filesystem.  It is derived from AFS, but
      4 supports disconnected operation, both reading and writing.  This
      5 directory contains the interface between the VFS layer and a
      6 user-space program ("venus") that implements the client part of Coda.
      7 The interface is similar to puffs(9) in many respects.
      8 
      9 Coda servers do not need kernel support.

     15 	- The coda/vcoda modules have been tested for read/write
     16 	  operations and load/unload on amd64 with a DEBUG/DIAGNOSTIC
     17 	  kernel and there are no locking errors.
     18 	- If you find issues with coda, please file a bug report.
     19 	  Also help can be obtained via the list codalist (a] coda.cs.cmu.edu.
     20 	- Pkgsrc/net/coda has the latest source available from cmu and
     21 	  has been fixed to co-exist with openafs (openafs has been modified)
     22 
     23 To test:
     24 - Install pkgsrc/net/coda
     25 
     26 # rm -fr /var/lib/coda			# remove junk if there was a crash
     27 # /usr/pkg/sbin/venus-setup xxxx	# xxxx the domain name
     28 # /usr/pkg/sbin/venus
     29 # clog guest (a] testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu	# password is guest
     30 # echo foo > /coda/testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu/playground/nb.test0 
     31 
     32 You should be able to access things in /coda
