Try using modprobe on a non-Linux box.
I think one point being missed is that the current way of doing things is pretty similar for all architectures. You don't want to fragment the already fragmented code into more "on this architecture we do this instead of that"... There's enough architechture-specific obfuscation going on as is...
Thanks Nikke ;-)
I was just about to type almost the same thing when your mail came in ...
I have one more point. There are platforms where AFS isn't a dynamically loaded kernel module so we're a bit in trouble on those platforms with your suggested solution.
On IRIX and HPUX (actually I never tried anything else on HPUX) the static modules are more stable for me, so that's what I use... and it just works. :-)
