That is what i did when i unmounted my XFS /vicepa to create another
"partition" in ext2fs.

walter@cerbere:~$ vos examine root.afs

I think this come from the client, but i don't find from where. Someone told
something about AFS client being incompatible with AFS. Have i to create an
ext2 partition just to "mount" the AFS tree in AFS fs ?

I tried with Windows AFS client, but had another problem. Client seems to look
for a "DTC-AFS", assuming that "DTC" is the name of the client machine
running. I have then a problem configuring this with my AD+trusted MIT KDC.
Someone running something like this ?


TIA.
