LBFS requires SFS 0.7 to run. It requires a modified in-kernel NFS client that sends CLOSE RPCs. A patch for FreeBSD is available here .
To run the LBFS server, you will need to set up a SFS server, and use sfslbsd, instead of sfsrwsd, as the file server. See here for more information on SFS. To run the LBFS client, you will need to set up a SFS client environment, and use sfslbcd to mount pathnames that start with "lbfs:". For example,
/sfs/lbfs:new-york.lcs.mit.edu:85xq6pznt4mgfvj4mb23x6b8adak55ue
