Using of the namei-interface is not a runtime option. It must have been compiled accordingly. There is a configure option --enable-namei-fileserver which should set AFS_NAMEI_ENV in afsconfig.h. We run (MR-AFS) namei-fileservers on all platforms. It has also the advantage that you can copy a whole vice-partition just by using tar.
