[OpenAFS] Extremely poor write performance.

[Rubino Geiß]

I've got the new arla-0.36pre11.tar.gz

	./configure 
	make

gives me:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors
nnpfs_node.c: In function `nnpfs_iget':
nnpfs_node.c:226: warning: implicit declaration of function
`get_empty_inode'
nnpfs_node.c:226: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a
cast

then I've tried:

	./configure --disable-nnpfs

witch get me to:

/usr/athena/lib/libkrb.a(str2key.o): In function `afs_string_to_key':
/afs/info.uni-karlsruhe.de/user/rubino/XXX/krb4-1.2.1/lib/krb/str2key.c:67:
undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

as a last rescue i tried to cd appl/perf/ and make there; the resulting
binary has still some errors (or my setup has erros, maybe):

As far as I know I do not have "krb4 ticket file" AND google doesnt tell me!
how do i get such a file from a kaserver? Sorry maybe I'm just dumb ;)

bye, Ruby
