3Coda is a distributed filesystem.  It is derived from AFS, but
4supports disconnected operation, both reading and writing.  This
5directory contains the interface between the VFS layer and a
6user-space program ("venus") that implements the client part of Coda.
7The interface is similar to puffs(9) in many respects.

9Coda servers do not need kernel support.

15	- The coda/vcoda modules have been tested for read/write
16	  operations and load/unload on amd64 with a DEBUG/DIAGNOSTIC
17	  kernel and there are no locking errors.
18	- If you find issues with coda, please file a bug report.
19	  Also help can be obtained via the list codalist@coda.cs.cmu.edu.
20	- Pkgsrc/net/coda has the latest source available from cmu and
21	  has been fixed to co-exist with openafs (openafs has been modified)
22
23To test:
24- Install pkgsrc/net/coda
25
26# rm -fr /var/lib/coda			# remove junk if there was a crash
27# /usr/pkg/sbin/venus-setup xxxx	# xxxx the domain name
28# /usr/pkg/sbin/venus
29# clog guest@testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu	# password is guest
30# echo foo > /coda/testserver.coda.cs.cmu.edu/playground/nb.test0

32You should be able to access things in /coda
