== Implementations ==

Besides the original, a few other implementations were developed.  [[OpenAFS]] was built from source released by [[Transarc]] ([[International Business Machines|IBM]]) in 2000.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080223002706/http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-afs.html Opening Up AFS]</ref> Transarc software became deprecated and lost  support.{{when|date=October 2021}}
Arla was an independent implementation of AFS developed at the [[Royal Institute of Technology]] in [[Stockholm]] in the late 1990s and early 2000s.<ref>{{Cite journal |title= Arla-a free AFS client |journal= Proceedings of the 1998 USENIX, Freenix Track |date= 1998 |author= Assar Westerlund and Johan Danielsson <!-- seems citeseer only? |doi= 10.1.1.16.1360--> |citeseerx= 10.1.1.16.1360 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |title= Porting the Arla file system to Windows NT |journal= Workshop on Management and Administration of Distributed Environments |date= 2000 |author= Magnus Ahltorp, Love Hörnquist-Åstrand and Assar Westerlund <!-- seems citeseer only? |doi= 10.1.1.512.9570 --> |citeseerx= 10.1.1.512.9570 }}</ref>

A fourth implementation of an AFS client exists in the [[Linux kernel]] [[source code]] since at least version 2.6.10.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120710092252/http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt?v=2.6.10 Linux kernel AFS documentation for 2.6.10]</ref> Committed by [[Red Hat]], this is a fairly simple implementation still incomplete {{as of|2024|1|lc=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v6.7.1/Documentation/filesystems/afs.rst|date=7 January 2024|title=Linux kernel AFS documentation for 6.7.1|website=linux.no|access-date=11 May 2024}}</ref>
