I keep thinking that this looks like a portable (non platform-dependent)
bootstrapping issue.
FWIW I run a combined (db+fs) server on 9.0 IA64. Haven't seen any of
these problems, and have been running on FreeBSD since 6.something. I've,
OTOH, got my cell running 6-7 years now, so have a lot of the
bootstrapping out of the way.
I do not, either, run the port, but am building manually. My ./configure:
./configure \
--enable-namei-fileserver \
--enable-largefile-filserver \
--disable-pam \
--enable-supergroups \
--with-krb5-config=/usr/heimdal/bin/krb5-config \
--disable-kernel-module \
--prefix=/usr/local/openafs161 \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var
What I did may or may not be relevant, but I'd just like to state two things:
* The FreeBSD port is being actively used. Do we need some resources to
facilitate
developement? (I'm thinking build slave)
* The FreeBSD platform, having ZFS, is IMNSHO an excellent choice for a file
server.
How far ahead is the client code on FreeBSD?
