Im really interested in getting arla and/or openafs working on the FreeBSD's after the VFS overhaul. Do you have an stimate on how much effort is needed? Even thou i don't have a huge budget i'm villing to put some dollars into making that happen so i could make a proper evaluation in using AFS as a backend for web and ftp servers.
