31.3SgdtCoda is a distributed filesystem.  It is derived from AFS, but
41.3Sgdtsupports disconnected operation, both reading and writing.  This
51.3Sgdtdirectory contains the interface between the VFS layer and a
61.3Sgdtuser-space program ("venus") that implements the client part of Coda.
71.3SgdtThe interface is similar to puffs(9) in many respects.
81.3Sgdt
91.3SgdtCoda servers do not need kernel support.

141.3SgdtAs of April 2007, Coda is not quite stable enough for demanding
151.3Sgdtproduction use, but is usable by those who are willing to deal with
161.3Sgdtproblems.  Help can be obtained via the list codalist@coda.cs.cmu.edu.
171.3Sgdt
181.3SgdtAs of April 2007, pkgsrc/net/coda\* is old, and gdt recommends running

201.3Sgdt
211.3SgdtAs of April 2007, the kernel code has not been tested on 64-bit
221.3Sgdtarchitectures.  It runs on i386 and has previously been tested on
