Hello,

I installed the latest stable version of openafs for mac osx 10.3. When I
start it up using "/Library/StartupItems/Openafs/OpenAfs" I am told:

afsd: unable to mount AFS on /afs(16)

Furthermore although I can do ls /afs and see all the domains (cern.ch
etc) if I try ls /afs/cern.ch/ I am told no such file or directory - even
though I saw it when I did ls /afs. After this occurrence I also find the
same message for ls /afs. Do I have to do something special to use /afs? I
have previously used it in linux I and I dontdont remember any special
commands needed, but maybe linux comes with some software already
installed that I need to install in mac osx for afs to work properly?

Somoene suggested you have to install afs twice and will work the second
time and indeed it did for a while before going back to the same problem.
Now no amount of reinstaling solves the problems. Does anyone know how to
get afs working on mac osx?

Thanks,

Mark
