Yes i know, im from .se after all...

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. Ill start with 1000 USD, anyone 
else who would like to contribute?

Last time i tried related to load so i couldn't actually continue my 
efforts. Thats a shame. But i would love to overcome those hurdles and do 
some serious testing.
