Thanks to the help so far, I've gotten as far as rebooting and trying to
mount /afs, but no further. I discovered the CellServDB.dist and
CellServDB.local files (neat trick) which are not documented in the QSG,
sorted those files out, but still I'm getting:
afsd: Can't mount AFS on /afs(22)
I ran afsd with -verbose, and the output seems to indicate that
everything's
fine up to mounting root.afs (see below). As suggested by the QSG, I
removed
-dynroot from /etc/sysconfig/openafs, and I have created my root.afs
volume,
but that is the ONLY volume I have.
I am starting to get the impression that I need to pre-create some more
volume infrastructure, perhaps. Do I need anything other than
root.afs to
get started? The QSG doesn't have you create anything other than
root.afs
until AFTER you have started the client for the first time.
I believe my client config files are correct:
[r...@fhcore ~]# cat /usr/vice/etc/ThisCell
d.fh.nyc.us.boot.efs[r...@fhcore ~]#
[r...@fhcore ~]# cat /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB
d.fh.nyc.us.boot.efs #Cell name
192.168.1.121 #fhcore
Um, wasn't there a magic dependency that the name after the pundsign
(#) has to be resolvable FQDN (preferably forward and reverse) to the
IP on the left hand side?

Yes, some clients require the second column to be resolvable by DNS, but
I don't remember the specifics. I vaguely recall that 1.5 clients do that.
You need the root.cell volume at a minimum for dynroot clients. You cell
should have the root.afs and root.cell volumes for everything to
function properly.
Clients without dynroot look for root.afs, which is listed as /afs.
Clients with dynroot don't show root.afs, instead that lists all cells
in CellServDB and look for the root.cell volume in each cell. root.cell
is mounted as /afs/cellname and /afs/.cellname
