Also, If you are running on linux, it is sometimes helpful to look at
/proc/fs/openafs/unixusers which lists the UID or PAG and the associated
ViceId for the current ones in the cache manager.

PAG numbers are always in the range of 0x41000000 to 0x41ffffff, which
in decimal is, 1090519040 to 1107296255.  (The magic number 0x41 is 'A'
in ASCII, 'A' for AFS, I suppose.)
