So ... I discovered the hard way that (on AIX at least) if you put a non-existent cellname in /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell and start the AFS client, the system will panic as soon as afsd is started. Weird, huh? Pretty obscure error condition, but still ... kernel panic? Yow.
This is true with all AFS clients which are not started with the dynamic root option. The AFS client must be able to mount the root.afs volume from the default cell. If the volume cannot be found, the client will panic.
