[OpenAFS-devel] RHEL startkde bug

I discovered a bug the other day whereby RHEL's RedHat-ized startkde does a df 
upon logging in with kde to make sure theres some space left in the home dir. 
Of course df returns 1, 9000000, or a big 1petabyteish number depending on OS 
(FC1/RH9/RHEL) and whether the smp or single kernel module is used.. In any 
case, if afs returns 1 for the df size of /afs, you can't log in.

I submitted a patch to the RHEL folks and it was accepted in the tree, 
expected to appear by Update 4 for sure or maybe Update 3 but its probably 
too late for U3.

Anyway, thought you all should know, might be something you run across.

Here's the bugzilla link and the patch:
