[OpenAFS-devel] Re: [OpenAFS] Problems with AFS under Linux 2.4.2

[Derek Atkins]

Well, my RedHat postinstall script does this automagically.  I would
hope that more people use the OpenAFS packages as time goes on.  Indeed,
I'm hoping that various vendors will start to ship OpenAFS.

But you're also right, a quick change to rc.afs could do:

if [ ! -d /afs ]; then
  mkdir /afs
fi

-derek
