Requesting AFS space

Tags afs

Summary

This article discusses how to request an Andrew File System (AFS) account.

Members of the U-M community who are eligible for Standard Computing Services may optionally receive a 10GB allotment of AFS space. The AFS space can be used to store and share files and to publish personal web pages. In some cases, your personal AFS space is used as your home directory when you log into a computer.

New users at the university are no longer issued an AFS account by default, but you can request it easily.

Please note: ITS has retired the AFS service for retirees and alumni. It is logical to assume that they will do so for faculty, staff, and students in the future.

Environment

AFS

Directions

Go to the self-provisioning site.

Notes

The ITS Login Service uses AFS home directories. You will need an AFS account to use this service.
