Ok, I dropped down to the root prompt and reverted the change. So my ubuntu
partition is working again.
Here is what I see in the terminal when I try to make the change again:
$ sudo nano /etc/openafs/afs.conf
$ sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-client restart
Stopping AFS services: openafs.
Starting AFS services: openafs afsd.
afsd: All AFS daemons started.
[**here, the system hangs]
$ sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-client restart
Stopping AFS services:afsd: Shutting down all afs processes and afs state
[**here, the system hangs again]
Additionally, the system hangs again when I revert the change and restart
the openafs-client. I'm not really understanding the situation. What
should I try next? Please advise me.
Thanks for your patience,
Cathy

As the message suggests, your hard drive was not formatted wi=
th<br>
either ext2 or ext3, which are the only supported filesystems for the<br>
local AFS cache on Linux.<br>
<br>
A fairly straightforward alternative is to keep the AFS cache entirely<br>
in memory, instead of on disk. To enable this, edit<br>
/etc/openafs/afs.conf, and find the line that sets the OPTIONS variable<br>
(should be line 65 or so). Edit that line to say<br>
<br>
OPTIONS=3D"-stat 10000 -daemons 6 -volumes 200 -memcache"<br>
<br>
Then run `sudo /etc/init.d/openafs-client restart`<br>
