It probably does check, but maybe not in a way that makes sense for afs. /afs isn't mounted read-only, but I believe the root of /afs is always read-only, so it doesn't make sense to try to write temp and scratch there. > It's about eight years since I last used AFS. ;-) > > What does the output of mount say on your system, what is in fstab? prntsrv% mount /dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) AFS on /afs type afs (rw) automount(pid27725) on /mnt/nfs type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=27725,minproto=2,maxproto=4) prntsrv% cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda2 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 > And/or how do you mount an AFS filesystem?

You'll also need openafs-modules-[kernel version] for your running kernel, normally built from the openafs-modules-source package. Since I'm using sarge, I'm using backported openafs packages from unstable (openafs 1.4.1). I'd be happy to make my backported openafs packages available to you (including the kernel module package for the standard debian 2.6.8-3-686-smp kernel), if that would be helpful. /afs gets mounted when /etc/init.d/openafs-client is started. Once /afs is mounted, you can cd into /afs/[cell-name] to access the afs cell you want to use. Ours is /afs/sph.umich.edu/.
