Yes - yes - yes, I'm interested in this work very much :-) !
I actually downloaded AFS sources the day they were
released, and I'm subscribed to AFS mailing lists since than,
but I had to spent some time hunting for decent and cheap
HDDs to make any use of it :-)
I'm currently running RH because I was in a hurry to get QLogic 2200
running and something didn't work out under Debian unstable for me.
As soon as I'll solve that problem I can switch back to debian-alpha.
There were some talks about Tru64 patches for AFS recently in
OpenAFS-devel, I thought that maybe it will be possible to make
use of them when they will come out. I'm wondering what is your
expert opinion, if there will be some communication between
AlphaLinux and Tru64 ports or not ?
