SuSE 9.2 ships with a v1.2.11 AFS client if you use their nongpl tagged 
kernel.  I'm fairly certain this is what he's using.  I've recently 
begun testing SuSE 9.2 and so far, in very imited testing, haven't had 
any problems.

Here's a note from the /usr/share/packages/openafs/README.SuSE file:

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, openafs client for linux kernel 2.6 has not 
reached
stable state yet. There may be problems.

I'm not sure what method they've used to enable support under 2.6, or 
how stable it will be in a production environment at this point.  See 
Hartmut's message regarding caching issues.

Can anyone comment on the stability of the client that SuSE ships?
