I noticed this on the OpenAFS devel list and thought I might have an
answer to this question.  SGI has been working on several tools to help
kernel developers.  You can find them at link below:

I also noticed that you work for the University of Missouri - Rolla.  Do
you guys run AFS on a large scale there?  We are pondering implementing
OpenAFS as a distributed file system solution for the EECS department.
This of course would cross several platforms including Linux, BSD, and
Windows.  I have seen quite a bit of activity on the cvs commits list.  I
am quite pleased with the developement of this product ... I am sure if we
did implement this we would also contribute to the efforts already in
place.
