I know quite a few AFS systems that moved to AuriStor's YFS: https://www.auristor.com/openafs/migrate-to-auristor/auristo...

As I understand it, it mitigated many of those issues, but is still very "90s" in operation.

I've been flirting with the idea of writing a replacement for years, about time I had a go at it!

I may be confusing two systems but I believe that AFS system was also encompassed the first iteration of “AWS Glacier” I encountered in the wild. A big storage that required queuing a job to a tape array or pinging an undergrad to manually load something for retrieval.
