Hi folks, Is there a working version of AFS server/client for 5.4 ? I found openafs-1.4.0 for FreeBSD 6. Currently we're running 5.4 here and are not sure that we want to move to 6 yet for production. The only option for 5.x appears to be Arla, but I don't know what the stability of that is and it appears to be focused on the client side. Is this something I can consider for a production system ? I also need to manage clients writing to the filesystem and the possibility of server failure. AFS appears to not handle this well, or is my interpretation of the docs wrong ? This may be getting beyond the scope of this list, but my actual need is fo= r redundant fileservers running on FreeBSD. AFS seems to be the closest thing I can find, but I have the feeling that someone had to do this before and maybe they're here. Thanks, Craig
