Yes, everything at CERN, at least in the 2000s, was in AFS. Fermilab was also using AFS extensively.

I remember compiling AFS from source for Scientific Linux 3.x because there was a weird bug that didn't let the machines mount AFS when they were integrated with LCG (before it was renamed to WLCG: https://wlcg.web.cern.ch/)

Oh my... this comment really dates me...

Well I'm 50 but AFS in college was superior to all the NFS and NIS silliness I've put up with at the 8 companies I've worked at since then. I wrote another comment about our Unix groups at work and how we have a setuid root command that we type in our password and it changes our groups dynamically.
