Would it make sense when using ext4 as a client cache to turn the
journal off, for a little bit more performance?
I'm also wondering if some of the afs cache tunables could also be
translated into mkfs.ext4 tunables, for a closer fit. (afs cache
chunksize vs ext4 extents, etc)

nless someone more knowledgeable says
otherwise.
Is "relatime" sufficient for AFS usage? It's now the default, and may
not be as fine-grained as old atime.

Thanks, that does give the server name. Now is there a command that
