Followup:

The startup problem has been fixed by removing /var/cache/openafs/*
and making the cache smaller. Now 5GB.

* is there a max size of the cache?

* is there some check for that max size (to prevent unsupported or
  unreasonable big values in cacheinfo)? Looks to me that openafs
  tries to create a 5TB on a 1TB HD if asked to do so.

But I have a new problem:

Old AFS client:

$ ls /afs/stacken.kth.se/home | wc -l
739

New AFS client:

$ ls /afs/stacken.kth.se/home | wc -l
775

Of course my home (haba) is one of the missing ones.

But even if I see the mount point with ls, it may not exists anyway:

$ ls /afs/stacken.kth.se/home | head -1
aalen
$ fs lsm /afs/stacken.kth.se/home/aalen
fs: File '/afs/stacken.kth.se/home/aalen' doesn't exist

So what is going on? I can access 

$ ls /afs/grand.central.org/software/openafs/|wc -l
245

$ fs checks
All servers are running.
$ fs getcac
AFS using 1924 of the cache's available 5000000 1K byte blocks.

Harald.
