I applied the "sys_call_table.patch" and the "syscalls.h.patch" from
'http://www.linux.ncsu.edu/projects/openafs-rpms/' to 'openafs-1.3.71'.
It builds and installs on a 2.6.8.1 kernel, but when I try the
"fs mkmount /afs/<cell name> root.cell" from the Unix quick-start
guide, I get a "No space left on the device" error message from 'fs'.
The same sources seem to work fine on a 2.6.7 kernel.
