Oh, the OpenAFS server has worked on FreeBSD forever, and I run two
cells with multiple terabytes of data on FreeBSD only.  The OpenAFS
param files tend to be out of date but I'm planning on getting
on top of that too.  There's a port of OpenAFS 1.5.30 I put together
available right next to the arla stuff here:

http://setfilepointer.com/pub/afs/FreeBSD/

I tend to install the server everywhere I install arla because the
vos and bos commands in arla in incomplete compared to their
implementation in openafs.  I suppose I should nag someone at
OpenAFS to include the new param files I made for newer FreeBSDs
(not that the new param files are particularly inspired).  It'd be
great if a few people would comment on this port and then I guess
I'll create a PR to get it included in the ports tree at the same
time as arla.

Sound good?

Also, who's writing the FreeBSD wiki?  I'm embarrased to tell
people to go look at the gentoo documentation for AFS.  :)
