In an earlier message on freebsd-fs@freebsd.org Jim Rees, rees@umich.edu. stated: "It wouldn't take much to get OpenAFS in pretty good shape on FreeBSD. It mostly has some locking and vnode ref count issues that shouldn't be too hard to fix for someone who knows what they're doing. I'd be happy to point anyone in the right direction." Maybe he could give you the push in the right direction? (Even thou i suspect your motivation is more connected to getting arla up and running under 6.2, Jim's input could perhaps help you in that direction too?) > Last time I tried on 5.5 it kept crashing on me in the turnstile walk. > My experience above with "ls -R" was also on 5.5 running arla-0.43. > I'm already funded and can work full time on this, but a FreeBSD hacker > would help a lot. Any volunteers? > Thats nice news. And i realise that my little bounty might not make any difference when people are "already funded" and have other motivations. So let me rephrase my bounty. 1000 USD to the person who needs it and makes a difference in implementing this. Otherwise given to the FreeBSD foundation or some other Open source project/fund etc. when a working afs server and client implementation exists for FreeBSD 6.2 or higher, preferably as a port or in the base system. Those involved in the implementation will have a say in which project or individual the money will go. And please if others are intrested in increasing the bounty, do so! /Chris -- www.infotropic.com
