[OpenAFS-devel] starting afs before network is up..

If I have dynroot enabled, I seem to have no problems mounting afs
before the network is configured (on my laptop). However, if I turn off
dynroot, afsd starts up, and eventually contacts the servers after I
bring up the network (fs checkservers says all servers are up). But /afs
never shows up as being mounted.

Is there any way to store VLdb lookups on disk, so that when a laptop
restarts, it can grab cached volume location information, and then mount
/afs using root.afs.readonly cell data from cache?

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
