Yup, after much muddling, and a few repeats of 'cannot interpret partition name blah', I made a new ext2 partition and mounted it at /vicepa. I'm hoping the ext2 bit it temporary as I'm going to have a bit too much data on some of my afs volumes to run a non-journaling filesystem - does reiserfs work with afs yet? The partition is an LVM logical volume - are there any afs LVM issues I should be wary of? > > I've insmod'ed '/etc/afs/modload/libafs-2.4.10-ac3.mp.o' (the libafs > module for my 2.4.10-ac3 kernel), but I still get > > the above error. > > There are problems with recent kernels .. the kernel developers recently > like to change the inode definition in every new release :( ... i just > updated the ebuild to the latest openafs version .. it should be in portage > soon (currently testing if it builds ok). update your portage tree (emerge > rsync) and try emerging openafs-1.2.1-r6.ebuild > > i'm not sure if it will work with 2.4.10 though ... it should work with > 2.4.9-ac10 which i'm using ... Maybe I'll try that kernel later if things continue to not work :) Thanks for the help!
