Hi,
I am trying to port a program called Katie -
http://www.netcraft.com.au/geoffrey/katie/ from Linux. It comprises of a
bunch of Perl scripts and some embedded C which talk to a Postgres
server and provide a transparent repository file system..
(Please, no vomiting)

I have got it to build and run (needs Perl 5.6.x unfortunately), and
just recently I got FreeBSD to NFS mount a view, but I can't read the
special server info file :(

I end up with EFBIG when trying to read the .katie-server-info file, but
if I create a file inside the view (eg echo "abc" >foo) then it can be
read  with no problem, _but_ the dump of NFS traffic doesn't show a read
for that file.

I have ethereal dumps of a working FreeBSD NFS loopback mount and broken
file requests etc if anyone's interested.

It would be nice to get this working as the project looks quite useful
:)
