I would like to consider OpenAFS a serious option, but I can't find the rpm for sles10.
I've got openafs-1.2.11-20.1.s390.rpm in my SLES9 SP3 repository, but here says it's unsupported: http://support.novell.com/products/server/supported_packages/sles_9_sp3_s390_supported.pdf I need Novell support for the products.
