That implies something (probably one of the changes to deal with changes
to struct inode) broke it. How is Mandrake's struct inode different than
the stock one? Someone mentioned some change to Mandrake with respect to
i_shadow handling as well. You might try pulling src/afs/LINUX/osi_vfs.h
from 1.2.0 and building 1.2.2 with it (you'll need to make osi_vfs.h not
be generated from osi_vfs.hin for this to work)
