As mentioned, thanks to a pointer by Tim Wood, I was able to get my OpenAFS server on the Xserve to see the /vicepa partition. I wish that everything else went smoothly, but alas ....

On the Mac OS, the afs disk is actually mounted on "/Network/afs" (with a symlink from "/afs" to it). If I run as a client this works fine mounting there my external cells, but if I run as a server on the Xserve, this mount is never created (in other words, although the mount command shows "AFS on /Network/afs" if you try to list "/Network/" it tells you that "afs" does not exist). Does anyone have a clue where this mounting is done in the code ? I'm currently digging through the source code, but is a big task.

Thanks,

BTW: this could become a big issue, with Apple aggressively marketing these Xserve's, especially in academia, more and more people will be buying them (already there is such a demand that Apple cannot keep up). I'm happy to be the guinea pig on this ....
