[OpenAFS] rc.d/afs start hanging early

[Derek Atkins]

What does /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo say about where your cache partition
is located?  What kind of file system is your cache partition?  How
big is your cache?

It certainly shouldn't take hours.. I was able to generate a 3GB cache
with the standard chunksize configuration in just a few minutes.
