First, sorry if this arrives after other more useful messages. I'm travelling in Europe, and it could be up to a week before I can send this message. I've been looking at ARLA, and it seems that it's broken as a result of some changes in the bio layer of FreeBSD 5 and 6. The breakage is minor, but to fix and test it I need to do a certain amount of work, and that won't happen until mid-November at the earliest (I won't be home until 7 November). You might like to contact me (privately) round then for an updated status. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
