Welcome to the June issue of the OpenAFS newsletter. This newsletter summarizes what is happening in the OpenAFS community.
As always, volunteers, patches, bug reports, or any other type of help is greatly appreciated.
A new section is starting for case studies. Each issue of the newsletter will feature one organization using OpenAFS. This new section is aimed to give a high-level overview of how many different sites use OpenAFS. Thanks go out to everyone who gave feedback on which questions to ask when profiling an AFS site.
Feedback on this newsletter is welcome. The goal is to summarize the various development efforts and news of OpenAFS for the community. Please let Jason Edgecombe <jason@rampaginggeek.com> know what you would like to see out of this newsletter. Any news about AFS-related projects is welcome and may be submitted to Jason for inclusion in the next newsletter.
The current and past issues of this newsletter are available at http://www.openafs.org/newsletter/
1.4.12.1 was released on May 25. This was a minor bug fix release to support Linux 2.6.34, fix a Mac OS issue, and fix a panic. You may stick with 1.4.12 if you aren't having any issues.
The beginning of a TAP test harness has been added to git.
The driving feature for the 1.6 release is the Demand-Attached File Server. The 1.6 branch will be created when the DAFS bugs have been fixed and tested.
In this issue, I would like thank Ted Creedon of Creedon Engineering for being the first organization to be profiled in the newsletter. --Jason
Jason: What is the name of your organization?
Ted: Creedon Engineering, Lake Oswego, Oregon
Jason: What does it do?
Ted: Electrical/Mechanical Consulting Engineers and software/hardware engineering. Cyber security..
I frequently travel to remote Alaska, hence the need for AFS
Jason: So Creedon Engineering is located in Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA, correct?
Ted: Yes
Jason: You are a one-man shop. Correct?
Ted: Yes
Jason: Do you use sub-contractors?
Ted: Yes
Jason: If you use contractors, do they use your AFS space?
Ted: No but in a large project they would
Jason: How many users does your site have?
Ted: 1
Jason: How many cells do you have?
Ted: 1
Jason: How many full-time and part-time people are responsible for AFS support and in what capacity?
Ted: .0001
Jason: How much data do you store in AFS?
Ted: 500 GB
Jason: How do you use OpenAFS?
Ted: triple server redundant archival backup of irreplaceable photos and engineering data with world wide secure access from low bandwidth lines.
Jason: You said "low-bandwidth", are you using dial-up, cellular phone data network, or something more exotic, like satellite?
Ted: I was stuck with 128K out in the Aleutians but its been some time (5 years) since my last experiment.
Jason: How many servers do you have?
Ted: 4 in my office, sometimes more, never less than 3.
Jason: Are they in different locations?
Ted: No, but 2 should relocated.
Jason: How far apart are they?
Ted: Same room - which is bad but I need to get my spare UPS installed in my home basement.
Jason: Your customer base is spread out. Which states?
Ted: I practice mainly in Alaska
Jason: Do you have customers in Canada or outside the US?
Ted: No
Jason: Do you work on crude oil or mining equipment?
Ted: Yes, both the BP oil rig at NorthStar and the Red Dog Mine both in Alaska. Both done in 1996-1998. Note, any future work would include a task to set up AFS in my proposal.
Jason: Do you use any other network storage to supplement AFS, like dropbox, or windows shares?
Ted: Absolutely not, except for ftp - and I used ftp because of the difficulty and time constraints of setting up AFS clients in Fairbanks.
2 years ago I was stuck with a packaged sftp program used in a very large consulting firm (24,000 employees, 1,000 world wide offices) and my project was sabotaged by the internal/external ftp site. AFS would have been ideal but with an idiot based IT department, made it impossible to implement.
If you can believe it, transmitting AutoCAD data in that corporate environment was very primitive - to the point where productivity and drawing/specification writing is measurably affected - my guess is by 25% - not to mention folks working in different offices working on the wrong set of drawing revisions.
One issue is that tokens would be set up for 1 month lifetime. The users are in the Construction business, not sophisticated.
Jason: Is AFS the only networked filesystem that you use?
Ted: Yes, but occasionally a shared drive
Jason: If not, what are the others, and how do they compare/contrast?
Ted: windows shares and/or samba are a pain and are insecure, also lack backup capability.
Jason: Why do you use the other filesystems?
Ted: convenience - but rarely
Jason: Is your investment in AFS increasing or decreasing?
Ted: stable, unless you consider making new drivers/kernels an investment..
AFS is perfect for the traveling "Road Warrior".. And I don't have to worry about military photos and financial data security.
The Seventh Annual International AFS & Kerberos Best Practices Workshop was held May 24-28 at the University of Illinois. Participants enjoyed socialising in the evenings after spending their days learning and sharing experiences. In addition to the usual tutorials, 2 and a half days of presentations followed, including Phillip Moore's keynote, "Global Filesystems in the Real World: Comparing experiences with AFS and NFS". Phil contrasted his previous work with AFS to his current work with the OpenEFS system that runs on top of NFS now but could be used above OpenAFS.
Other talks included topics such as tools, development, deployment, debugging, and the future of OpenAFS.
Slides for the talks are available linked from http://workshop.openafs.org/afsbpw10/schedule.html
The date for the 3rd European AFS & Kerberos Conference has been set. The conference will take place in Pilsen, Czech Republic, from September 13 to September 15, 2010. More details are forthcoming and will be posted at http://afs2010.civ.zcu.cz. The conference is being hosted by Centre for Information Technology, University of West Bohemia.
The first Call for Participation has been announced. Please see http://afs2010.civ.zcu.cz/cfp.php for more information.
Informal drafts that haven't been uploaded to the IETF web site:
Rx Spec:
http://openafs.sinenomine.net/~mmeffie/rfc/draft-zeldovich-rx-spec-00.html
This draft is in the very early stages. Mike Meffie and Tom Keiser are the current owners of this proposal. A formal specification of Rx is needed as a basis for other IETF proposals.
Discussion on these proposals is welcome and should be done on the AFS3-standardization list at http://michigan-openafs-lists.central.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names
Status: Third Draft
draft-brashear-afs3-pts-extended-names continues to be available for review. The only outstanding comment involves a typo ("which which").
--Derrick Brashear
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-benjamin-extendedcallbackinfo
Status: Active - Waiting on RPC refresh
Extended callback implmementations for Unix and Windows have been submitted to gerrit and have received initial review. Ideally this code will soon be able to merge, after branch for 1.6. It's expected that its rpc refresh dependencies will be resolvable at that point.
--Matt Benjamin
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilkinson-afs3-rxgk
Status: Active
Rxgk is a security layer for AFS which will support strong encryption and authentication through Kerberos v5, GSI and any other GSSAPI security mechanism.
Changes which are considered suitable for the 1.5.x series are in git - look for changes with author sxw@your-file-system.com. A development tree, which will be frequently rebased, is at http://github.com/your-file-system/openafs-rxgk
Last Update: Jan 9, 2010
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-deason-afs3-acl-restrictions
Status: Second draft
Last update: January 13, 2010
See the Per-File ACLs section for more info.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tkeiser-rxrpc-sec-clear
Status: Third draft
Last Update: April 17, 2010
I released a new version of the Rx Clear security class I-D the other day. I am hereby soliciting comments on this new version of the draft.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tkeiser-rxrpc-sec-clear
The major changes in this version of the document are:
new introductory section that better explains the relationship between Rx and AFS-3 so that the document is more approachable for novices
additional prose in the security considerations section which better explains how this security object changes the attack vectors, as well as a brief mention of securing rxnull/rxclear with IPsec
flesh out the AFS assigned numbers registrar section with formal specifications for each newly requested registry
change the endpoint identifier type enumeration from 32-bits to 8-bits, as the larger size seemed quite wasteful
mark several security header fields as reserved for future use
I added a number of informative references to Transarc and CMU ITC tech reports
--Tom
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tkeiser-afs3-volser-tlv
Status: Second Draft
Last Update: April 6, 2010
As new forms of metadata are added to AFS volumes, we are running into limitations with the wire volume metadata structures used by the volume server. This internet draft aims to standardize a tag-length-value (TLV) encoding for arbitrary AFS volume metadata. A new version of this draft was released on April 6th, 2010. Everyone is invited to review and comment on this document. Comments should be sent to the afs3-standardization@grand.central.org mailing list.
--Tom
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mbenjamin-afs-file-locking
Status: Fifth Draft
This draft proposes protocol extensions to support byte-range and mandatory locking.
The first draft was submitted on May 5, 2010.

An important fix from Simon in gerrit 1832 has been merged. Gerrit 1562 (ihandle positional I/O) is still being reviewed, but has made much progress. The salvager threadsafe changes (gerrit 1865 and its dependencies) are also still undergoing review, but have seen much recent change. There is one remaining known DAFS bug involving saving and restoring fileserver state that was mentioned at the workshop, but an underlying cause is still being looked into.

Many of the known deficiencies in the OpenAFS man pages have been fixed in the current master branch, although some vos flags and backup commands are not yet documented. Two demand-attach binaries still need man pages.
The first chapter and part of the second chapter of the OpenAFS Administration Guide have been revised.

Immediately following the libuafs presentation I gave at BPW 2010, the perl libuafs bindings were submitted in gerrit 2048 (and 2049). There are still at least a couple of issues to work out: specifically PIC and packaging issues. After resolving those, I expect the next big things to be seen out of this are krb5 authentication support and python bindings, if the BPW discussions are any indication. Thanks to all who listened to my talk, and provided feedback.

I'll be making a snapshot of openafs "m85" tonight (Ed: June 9), based exactly on 1.5.61. Next few goals will probably be:
update to 1.5.74/75
improve patch splitout process
move to git(devel/temp)
test on windows
implement anonymous callback protection

Self-intro: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2010-May/017582.html
Kelli Ireland (Derrick's student) kicked off the official start of the GSoC program by attending the AFS/Kerberos workshop. She is working on extended attribute support, specifically for AppleDouble files (._ files, aka dot-underscore files). She is currently working on a dot-underscore file parser.

Self-intro: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2010-March/017424.html
Abstract:
The AFS protocol offers encryption for data transport from client to server. However, that data is stored on the server in cleartext, where it can potentially be read by the administrators of that server. This poses a real world problem for organisations who wish to outsource the provision of their file storage, whilst keeping their data confidential. This project would augment the existing AFS client to support encrypting data blocks before sending them to the file server.

Self-intro: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2010-May/017602.html
Work is progressing a bit ahead of the proposed timeline. Both standard and wide character versions of Cat, CatN, Copy, CopyN and Length are all implemented and have some unit testing for the basic functionality. Wide character versions of the functions were more similar to the standard character versions than I had expected, so much of that work has already been done ahead of time. Initial untested drafts of Gets, Printf and VPrintf have also been implemented.
The things to do next will be to extend the tests to cover the new functions and working on implementing the extended versions of all functions, as well as unit tests for these.
