I have used it but haven't actually implemented it so I only know it
from a user point of view. For a replicated read only file system
it's pretty stable, it only allows rights on one filesystem that is
distributed to the read onlys. It also has built in directory based
permissions acls. It basically takes the most restrictive of chmod
for files and afs acl on the directory. It also maintains a cache of
the mount locally so after the first read, it's as fast as being
local. Nonetheless, I am kind of looking forward to the feature set
of NFSv4.
