[OpenAFS] Can't mount AFS on /afs(22) on redhat EWS 4 client system.

[Derek Atkins]

What's the contents of /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell ?
Does that cell have data in /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB?
What are your AFSD_ARGS in /etc/sysconfig/openafs?

It looks like AFS wasn't completely stopped during the update
(or whatever you did) -- so you'll probably need to reboot
this machine right now, I'm afraid.
