Q:

How can I tell if a file is in AFS?

A:

If you are unfamiliar with AFS, please see [ http://help.unc.edu/?id=215 ] Introduction to AFS.

From the Windows AFS client:

Right-click on the folder. If the menu it brings up has an AFS entry, the file is in AFS. Non-AFS folders will not have this entry.

From UNIX:

Run one of these commands to check (replace path with the pathname to the file you wish to edit):

From isis.unc.edu:

cd path; /bin/pwd

A file in AFS will give a location starting with /afs/isis.unc.edu, and one not in AFS will return a location that doesn't start with /afs.

or

/usr/afsws/bin/fs listacl path

A file in AFS will give a multi-line response starting with "Volume status", and one not in AFS will return "fs: Invalid argument; it is possible that . is not in AFS".
