Hi!
I dont know where to report this as ... I am running debian but this
likely affects others.
So i give you problem and solution here, please tell me if i should file
a bugreport elsewhere..
on an upgraded debian system the openafs-client does not start because
the system precheck file complains that the mountpoint is not a directory.
In my case the file was used previously and has comments inside (for
automated install multi-use)
So i included that the check is only run on no-comment lines (patch
included).
One might extend this to let awk check that the layout of non-comment
lines is indeed
dir:dir:reasonableSize
or similar.
i hope that this helps some people as i found several complains in
multiple places and a fix coming from upstream is welcome...
Thanks a lot for your work (and welcoming any dual-license openafs!)
