[OpenAFS] OpenAFS client for Linux not quite working

[Derek Atkins]

What version of the OpenAFS client did you compile?  If you're not
using the current CVS version, then you need to apply a set of patches
to get it to work with the 2.4.9 kernel (indeed, any kernel > 2.4.6).
In particular, you need to patch src/afs/LINUX/osi_vfs.h so that
struct vnode matches exactly struct inode in include/linux/fs.h.
