That is something that > AFS would be perfect for. I read about bigger projects in Germany running AFS successfully. I 've got a really enthusiastic mail from an administrator maintaining one of these sites. But I read some rumours that AFS isn't running well on FreeBSD (gossip on the German FreeBSD mailing list). Is it true? BTW: I wrote two weeks ago that I like to start writing an iSCSI initiator. I spent the last days reading documents and sources and installing my programming and test environment. So I didn't start writing yet but I'm on the way.. Peter Ross
