It sounds as if you have access to > the AFS source (and havre gotten a fair ammount of it to compile, and run > stabely?) What version of AFS are you working with? Unfortunately I don't have access to AFS source. Anyways the support for VICE inodes suffices to run both AFS and Coda file servers and I think it would be a good thing if this support was part of FreeBSD. Most of the file server functionality in AFS and Coda is implemented using system calls icreate, iopen, iinc and idec. Since the Transarc AFS code already runs under NetBSD it should be fairly easy to compile everything but the kernel cache manager and with the aid of my module run a FreeBSD AFS file server. Did anybody out there try to compile (part of) the Transarc sources under FreeBSD? Cheers, Björn
