Hi,

Can AFS cache be placed on any local filesystem like ZFS, VxFS or 
UFS+logging?
When I start afsd with a cache configured on UFS with logging it prints 
a warning (see below) but otherwise seems to be working fine. It also 
seems to be working fine over ZFS.
It looks like it the below code is just a left-over and needs to be 
removed... ???

openafs-1.4.12.1/src/afsd/afsd.c:
[...]
    1324                     if ((rdev == statci.st_dev)
    1325 && (hasmntopt(&mnt, "logging") != NULL)) {
    1326
    1327                         fclose(vfstab);
    1328                         return
    1329                             "mounting a multi-use partition 
which contains the AFS cache with the\n\"logging\" option may 
deadlock    1329 your system.\n\n";
    1330                     }
