Hi Andrew,
It seems you are unaware that the (development) version of openafs in
Debian experimental supports 2.6. Having said that, my tests of this last
year suggested that the support is too unreliable to be useful. I actually
had openafs installed on a few UNC machines with 2.6. After reports of
problems, I was forced to switch back to 2.4. Note that when I installed
it, the module compiled fine against 2.6 and the client worked with no
problems. However, problems came up later.
This was last year. It may be more stable now. If you have better luck
with it, let me know.
Faheem.
