2 1.3 gdt
3 1.3 gdt Coda is a distributed filesystem. It is derived from AFS, but
4 1.3 gdt supports disconnected operation, both reading and writing. This
5 1.3 gdt directory contains the interface between the VFS layer and a
6 1.3 gdt user-space program ("venus") that implements the client part of Coda.
7 1.3 gdt The interface is similar to puffs(9) in many respects.
8 1.3 gdt
9 1.3 gdt Coda servers do not need kernel support.

11 1.3 gdt For information on Coda, see

14 1.3 gdt As of April 2007, Coda is not quite stable enough for demanding
15 1.3 gdt production use, but is usable by those who are willing to deal with
16 1.3 gdt problems. Help can be obtained via the list codalist (a] coda.cs.cmu.edu.
17 1.3 gdt
18 1.3 gdt As of April 2007, pkgsrc/net/coda\* is old, and gdt recommends running
19 1.3 gdt code from Coda's CVS.
20 1.3 gdt
21 1.3 gdt As of April 2007, the kernel code has not been tested on 64-bit
22 1.3 gdt architectures. It runs on i386 and has previously been tested on
23 1.3 gdt sparc.
