[OpenAFS] AFS without caching possible?

[Cajus Pollmeier]

Hi!

I've some trouble with discless clients where I need to get access to some /afs directories.
AFAIK I need some cache to make AFS work, but I've no physical disc to place it. Putting it
on a ramdisc results in:

 <1>Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c49071e9
 printing eip:

Any hints?

Thanks,
