I don't remember what version of arla that is, but I think that is a real
old version, you must run a more current version of arla to get it working
with disconnected mode (or get your OpenBSD arla-maintainer to import a new
version of arla, hi art :)

I've updated the mailinglist on the ftp-site, guess this should
be one automagicly.

Added a letter from wwshen (author of the disconnected code)
that describes how you use it.

If you want to use the disconnected mode, you can issue the
following commands:
fs connect dis (enter the disconnected mode)
........
........ (Do anything you want)
........
fs connect replay (replay all the operations above and you are
still in disconnected mode)
If you want to return to the normal mode, you can issue the
command as follows:
fs connect connect
But it would be better for you to make sure that you have
replayed the log file. I think it works but there are some
bugs at there because those codes were written in last summer.
Since then I have been working on the new version for disconnected
mode(log optimizations) intermittently because I am busy with the
other projects.
