Art, Currently the Coda kernel code is integrated into FreeBSD; how similar is your xfs support to the venus code in the FreeBSD kernel and the protocol they speak? It would be great if they spoke the same protocol, reducing the requirements for additional stuff in the kernel, especially given how similar they are. It would also get more people working on the code and correcting bugs, improving caching, etc. Robert N Watson robert@fledge.watson.org http://www.watson.org/~robert/ PGP key fingerprint: 03 01 DD 8E 15 67 48 73 25 6D 10 FC EC 68 C1 1C Carnegie Mellon University http://www.cmu.edu/ TIS Labs at Network Associates, Inc. http://www.tis.com/ SafePort Network Services http://www.safeport.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-afs" in the body of the message
