I have been using it here for a few weeks. I have been extreamly
pleased with it. I am using it on both a Sparc and intel machine,
both running 2.1.11X kernels. The stability seems pretty good. I have
had a few problems on the intel machine, but its hard to tell if they are
due to arla or the result of other problems in the development kernels
(for example I am also having problems with the automounter). On the Sparc
I have been running an arla snapshot for several weeks and its been rock
solid.
A man named Magnus Ahltorp seems to be one of the main developers, and he
was most helpful when I was setting things up.
Some things to watch out for:
1) If you are running a glibc based Sparc, all SUID/SGID applications
will die if anything is in the file /etc/ld.so.preload. This has
nothing to do with arla, exectp that arla comes with a getcwd.o
library that they suggest you put in /etc/ld.so.preload. Dont do it
on the Sparc.
2) You will have to set install kerberos before you can build/use
arla. This is export controlled.
3) I have had some problems with make -j not working correctly in
arla directories.
Hope this helps,
Jim
