If this comes to pass, I may end up making an effort to get it working on FreeBSD as a hobby during my spare time. Some things to look at that I've also been poking at: * Apparently the newest development (1.3.x) OpenAFS servers will work on FreeBSD, but the client is not production quality. * /usr/ports/net/arla implements a client that supposedly works on FreeBSD, though I have yet to test it. * OpenAFS is looking for people interested in making their client work on FreeBSD.

I'm still lurking and hoping the new GEOM will be used for such a system.

Re: Global / Cluster / Shared filesystem for FreeBSD?
There are OpenAFS and NFSv4 clients for FreeBSD, but unfortunately neither is really production quality. It wouldn't take much to make at least the OpenAFS client usable but no one seems to be working on it now. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You want geom_gate. See the ggatec, ggated, and ggatel manpages. Note that none of the packages mentioned so far will give you a cluster filesystem; they are just a cheaper way of sharing block devices than a Fibre Channel SAN. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Global / Cluster / Shared filesystem for FreeBSD?
Speaking of filesytems :), I have a real need for a global filesystem (or shared fs, or clustered fs, or whatever), and my favorite OS doesn't have one (that I know of!). I saw that a few years back a few people were working on getting GFS working on FreeBSD, but there's no recent mention of that. Is anyone working on this, or would someone like to work on it? I am not much of a code guru, but I have the resources to test this technology under all types of loads, and we are currently using a commercial software to handle my needs (polyserve - which they have flat out told me 'no' for FreeBSD support), but I would much prefer to be on FreeBSD.
