5. "DFS" mode
Testing has been done with current OpenAFS clients, and some mechanisms
are proposed to ensure that they work correctly as-is.  For instance,
the VLF_DFSFILESET is set in the VLDB to work around some assumptions
made by the current OpenAFS client code.  Clients therefore treat the
volume as a DFS fileset, and some DFS specific RPCs need to be
implemented on the server side.

This is new to me.  Can you elaborate on the RPCs?

Hi Matt, thanks for the comments.

More specifically, OpenAFS unix clients that see the VLF_DFSFILESET flag will issue AFS_Lookup and DFSSymlinks RPCs. These are currently defined in the file server source, but are just 1-line stubs that do nothing but return EINVAL.
