Unfortunately it didn't. Disk Arbitration knows about AFS when the Finder=20
comes up:

[tyrion:~] root# disktool -l
*** Unrecognized disk appeared on AFS ***
*** Unrecognized disk appeared on disk0s1 ***
*** Unrecognized disk appeared on disk0 ***
***Disk Appeared ('disk0s2',Mountpoint =3D '/', fsType =3D 'hfs', volName =
=3D=20
'Original')
*** Unrecognized disk appeared on automount -static [364] ***
***Disk Appeared ('disk0s3',Mountpoint =3D '/Volumes/Faelschung', fsType =
=3D=20
'hfs', volName =3D 'Faelschung')

But diskutil still crashes ...

Right now I don't see myself compiling OpenAFS myself (I've compiled lots=20
of packages, that's not the issue). I understand that the patches won't be=20
in 1.29. Any word on what happens after that? Or would anyone be willing to =

provide a patched package??

Thanks, Sebastian
