Not directly applicable but... We run openafs on x86 linux, mips irix, and sparc solaris machines. They all seem to work pretty well, so there doesn't seem to be any big endian/ 32-64bit/ portability problems. One thing to watch out for is xfs on linux. I don't know the exact reason, but as I understand it, xfs breaks certain convections with inodes, or something, that really give afs problems. Especially when the salvager kicks in... Haven't had a chance to try it on my powerbook yet... Oh, also make sure you get whatever is the latest version (1.2.6 now) not what is in woody. They fixed a bunch of stuff since then. -m
