I don't get a kernel panic but instead I get:

[gsgatlin@localhost ~]$ ls /afs/
ls: reading directory /afs/: Not a directory
[gsgatlin@localhost ~]$


which is pretty weird. I don't see anything in the syslog about problems
with openafs

I am using openafs-1.6.22


with

correct-m4-conditionals-in-curses.m4.patch
linux-test-for-vfswrite-rather-than-vfsread.patch
linux-use-kernelread-kernelwrite-when-vfs-varian.patch

from the arch linux distro in my rpm packages.

Anyone know what

ls: reading directory /afs/: Not a directory

means and is there some way around it?

Also, is 1.6.22.2 coming out soon?

Thanks so much,
