[OpenAFS-port-darwin] mozilla on afs probs

[Noah B F Abrahamson]

It's a known issue that Mozilla-based browsers (Camino, Netscape, etc) 
cannot use non-HFS volumes for cache. You cannot, for example, install 
either on a UFS-formatted Macintosh volume and expect it to work.  That 
limitation exists with some other, rare Mac OS X applications, too. 
There's no workaround.  I suppose you could create a read-write-able 
HFS disk image of a non-HFS volume and use that for cache, if you're so 
inclined, inelegant as that might be.
