- Subject: Unix-server configurations

- As of UX33 the default configuration for the Unix server contains
- SunOS derived support for NFS and Transarc derived AFS code.
- This is the configuration that we build and run at CMU. We do
- not run straight NFS code and we do not have permission to distribute
- AFS code to anyone.
-
- Thus those of you who are suping the Unix server sources will
- need to change the CONFIG specified in the file ux/Makefile-config.
- The recommended CONFIG for non-CMU sites is STDVICE+WS.
-
- The following is a brief desciption of the configurations available:
-
- The STDAFS+WS, STDVICE+WS, and STD+WS configurations all build.
- STDAFS+WS has AFS & NFS support. STDVICE+WS has mapped file IO
- and mapped U-area optimizations.
-
- The default configuration is STDAFS+WS. If you sup, this configuration
- won't build. You want to build STDVICE+WS.
-
- The STDVICE+WS configuration recognizes fast symbolic links but doesn't
- create them. The STDAFS+WS configuration creates fast symbolic links.
- If you only run STDVICE+WS, you don't need a fast-symbolic-link-cognizant fsck.
-
- The STDVICE+WS configuration has been tested only briefly.
- (The Mach project uses STDAFS+WS exclusively.)
- However, UX33 STDVICE+WS is quite similar to UX28 STDVICE+WS
- so it probably works OK.
