Not likely, methinks. I can't imagine that HP would do anything to
to specifically inhibit AFS. That they did something which breaks AFS
is easy enough to believe.
However, this HP diskless protocol has been around for 7+ years. I'm
more than a little flabbergasted that this known to not work, and is
not yet (and thus never will be) fixed.
I'm now more than a little suspicious about what other systems will
not work correctly.

No kidding. There is not a single word about this that I can find in
the Installation Guide. If this is really the case, that I cannot run
AFS on the cluster machines, it is a major problem for us.
It will cause my laboratory to withdraw from the campus AFS project
entirely, and me to reccomend that we try to return our shiney new
tapes for a refund.
