Coda File System
User and System Administrators Manual
M. Satyanarayanan, Maria R. Ebling, Joshua Raiff, Peter J. Braam
v1.1, 20 August 1997
The Coda File System is a descendant of the Andrew File
System. Like AFS, Coda offers location-transparent access to a shared
Unix file namespace that is mapped on to a collection of dedicated file
servers. But Coda represents a substantial improvement over AFS because it
offers considerably higher availability in the face of server and network
failures. The improvement in availability is achieved using the
complementary techniques of server replication and disconnected
operation. Disconnected operation proven especially valuable in
supporting portable computers. This document is a reference manual for Coda
users and system administrators.
