Coolness. AFS is heavily used at my work(150GB/9 servers); I actualy hate AFS for a number of reasons, but it would be cool to have a FreeBSD client. We don't have any source-code licenses, but could provide a good test environment. What I'm extremly interested in is looking over John's shoulder while he does the ioctl and vnode interface stuff in /sys/afs... I've almost had a working CODA kernel off of -current about 2 months ago. ...Maybe I'll shake the dust off and try to get it working again. Rob [rmallory@Qualcomm.com] > David E.
