[OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.2.8 and 2.4.18-18SGI_XFS_1.2.0

[James D. Nurmi]

One other thought, I had some issues w/ XFS and AFS that might be of 
note...  if my cache was on XFS, I had to wipe it prior to loading the 
module, else get a kernel oops, and even then it hung and oopsd after a 
few days...   The end solution was to create an ext2 partition and host 
it there, (or a pseudo partition via dd & mkfs)...

I know you wont see oops unless you're at the console, and when I was 
getting them, it hung during the "starting afs" phaze, with little to no 
other output... have you checked dmesg output or the logs? they may give 
some clue as to where its hung...
