Im really interested in getting arla and/or openafs working on the FreeBSD's after the VFS overhaul. Do you have an stimate on how much effort is needed? Even thou i don't have a huge budget i'm villing to put some dollars into making that happen so i could make a proper evaluation in using AFS as a backend for web and ftp servers. Ill start with 1000 USD, anyone else who would like to contribute? >> Yes im aware of issues running AFS on 6.x but i belive there exists an >> existing implementation under 5.x.

Thats a shame. But i would love to overcome those hurdles and do some serious testing. /Chris -- www.infotropic.com
