[OpenAFS-devel] Proposed change for handling backup volumes

[Kris Van Hees]

I guess we ought to do both?  Although I agree that overall you would want this
either on or off from the start of the client, I can see where some places may
wish to control this (even at bootup) by means of a sysctl setting rather than
as an afsd switch.

And it doesn't cost anything to provide both either way :)
