[OpenAFS] Status of Openafs on OSX

[Matt Cocker]

Hi Jimmy

Thanks for the reply.

I decided to spend a couple of days digging around openafs on OSX 10.3 
on the web and on a test machine. I have found some very useful sites 
and have managed to find lots of things to try.

I am now using the lastest openafs package with the following line in 
/private/var/db/openafs/etc/config/afsd.options

-fakestat-all -stat 2000 -dcache 800 -daemons 3 -volumes 70 -rootvol 
root.afs

At the same time we also upgraded to 10.3.4


  With 10.3.4 I have not had any problems.
