+OpenAFS for Debian
+------------------
+
+* AFS users may be confused by the directory layout. The files that
+ normally go in /usr/vice/etc go in /etc/openafs. The cache should be
+ mounted on /var/cache/openafs.
+
+* The AFS client cache must be on an ext2 or ext3 partition. Other file
+ systems often do not support the semantics required by the AFS kernel
+ module and will cause kernel faults. In particular, XFS and ReiserFS
+ will NOT work.
* No manual pages are included. I need to find out if versions exist
that are OK for copyright reasons.
* Documentation can be found at http://www.openafs.org. If want to
-set up a new cell, read the docs there and then look at the example
-session in configuration-transcript.txt.gz in this directory. You
-should also read README.servers. The procedure outlined in these two
-files is much simpler and more secure than the one in the Openafs
-documentation, but the Openafs documentation provides useful
-background.

* The libopenafs-dev package only includes static libraries because
-the shared libraries built by AFS are not compatible with Debian
-policy. They include non-PIC code and do not have a stable ABI.

-* The upserver, upclient and kaserver are not included.
