It comprises of a bunch of Perl scripts and some embedded C which talk to a Postgres server and provide a transparent repository file system.. (Please, no vomiting) I have got it to build and run (needs Perl 5.6.x unfortunately), and just recently I got FreeBSD to NFS mount a view, but I can't read the special server info file :( I end up with EFBIG when trying to read the .katie-server-info file, but if I create a file inside the view (eg echo "abc" >foo) then it can be read with no problem, _but_ the dump of NFS traffic doesn't show a read for that file. I have ethereal dumps of a working FreeBSD NFS loopback mount and broken file requests etc if anyone's interested. It would be nice to get this working as the project looks quite useful :) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
