currently, afsd assumes the average filesize is 32k, and sets
-files <cachesize/avg_file_size>.  for larger caches, you can get
rather large values for -files.  trying picking a more sane value
for files and stuck it in the OPTIONS for /etc/sysconfig/afs.

this is more about this in the openafs-devel archives.

take a look at fstrace.  this does what you want.  its much nicer than
printk debugging.
