[OpenAFS] directory corruption with Linux 2.4.[16|17]

[Blake Atkins]

John,

     You are lucky that the client ever worked with XFS as the underlying 
filesystem.  I have tried that several times in the past and get the exact 
same troubles you are having. I also tried it with JFS and Reiser.  Reiser 
seemed to go the longest without corruption but corruption still happened.  I 
have not tried ext3.  Of course, I have not had any trouble with XFS as the 
underlying filesystem of the OS and having a separate ext2 partition for the 
cache.
