[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Large Caches on 1.3.81

[Matt Elliott]

I just fired up our first server with large file support so I decided 
it was time to boost the size of the cache on my MacOS X 10.3.8  
system.  I had been using a 2GB cache with the these afsd options 
-chunksize 19 -stat 3200 -dcache 2400 -daemons 5 -volumes 128 
-nosettime -fakestat -dynroot -afsdb

I changed the cache to 8GB and rebooted, it paniced on boot during 
load, I then backed it down to 4GB and it booted by afsd didn't start.  
I tried starting it by hand with no luck.  Then I tried removing the 
cache and rebooting.  It booted but didn't load.  I tried loading it by 
hand.  I got a bunch of these errors during startup of afsd.

return is -1 (17)

Eventually it started and appears to work.  I haven't stress tested it 
yet.  Does anyone have a working config with a cache greater than 2 GB? 
  Anything special I need to do to make it work?

Do I need to worry about those CacheSubDir's that it couldn't create?

Thanks,
