Since AFS was introduced in 6.3A, and since the number of AFS daemon
processes to handle requests asynchronously is configurable on the
command line for "afsd", may I suggest that the AFSCLIENT variable allow
the following forms for its setting?
TRUE start an AFS client with the default # of daemons
FALSE do not start the AFS client processes
# start an AFS client with the specified # of I/O daemons
Another consideration might be to change the default # of asynchronous
I/O daemons that are used. This will certainly become more important if
AFS is ever used as a delivery mechanism for system packs; the default
number of I/O daemons is 2 (the other two unnamed AFS processes do not
serve the same purpose).
The change to /etc/rc would resemble that of the test for NFSSRV. I
would generate the code for a patch, if it were not for the fact that I
am working on my thesis currently.
