Please don't use the Openfiler installation as a development platform. Rather, download rpath Linux 1.0 and follow their instructions for making a development system - it's rather simple. You can then build / create troves and even setup your own repository on rbuilder which you can direct users to pull packages from. > p.s.

That's *very* interesting. I just checked it out. ACL and quota support. Nice! I'll definitely investigate getting support back in Openfiler. Shouldn't be too hard. -- Rafiu Fakunle Openfiler Project ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Openfiler powered NAS appliances from Xinit Systems http://www.xinit.com/main/storagenetworking/NAS.html 2TB - 24TB in 1U - 5U form factor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Openfiler-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openfiler.com/mailman/listinfo/openfiler-users
