particular, XFS, ReiserFS, and tmpfs will NOT work. If you are using
one of those file systems and don't have a spare partition for a
separate file system for the cache, you need to use the -memcache option
- to afsd or create a large file with dd, create an ext2 file system in it
- with mkfs, and then mount it with mount -o loop for use as a cache
- partition.

FAM does not work correctly with AFS except for directories that are
world-readable since it does not run in the user's security context and
the openafs-kpasswd package to get the administrative utilities for
managing those Kerberos accounts.
