AuriStor, Inc. is pleased to invite AFS and Linux kernel developers to the first kAFS Hackathon. The Hackathon will be co-located with the Linux Foundation's Vault - Linux Storage and Filesystems Conference.

  • AF_RXRPC, the implementation of the Rx RPC protocol available to kernel modules and userland processes via the socket interface. The Rx RPC protocol is used by AFS and AuriStorFS. Rx would make an excellent rpc for Internet of Things as well. as well.
  • kAFS, the Linux filesystem client implementation for AFS and AuriStorFS.FS.
