Question to the gurus: How difficult would it be to make AFS behave  
when faced with loss of networking? What I'm thinking about is a mode  
where you get EIO (or something) for all requests concerning AFS  
instead of having to wait three minutes for an answer which is  
guaranteed not to come. This can easily be found out using some cocoa  
interface (forgot the name of the function). It would also be nice to  
be able to unmount AFS _after_ the network problems have started.

Ciao,
                     Roland

UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that
would also stop you from doing clever things.
