If the /afs directory does not exist, /afs cannot be mounted.

ls /
-- If the /afs directory does not exist, then, as root, "mkdir /afs" --
then "chmod 777 /afs"
The ACL on the root AFS volume (typically root.afs) protects the contents of
/afs, not the UNIX mode bits -- so the 777 on /afs is perfectly OK -- the
documentation will tell you what the "approved" mode bits are, but 777
should work without penalty.
Also, WRT the VL server being unavailable -- did you look at the output from
"ps -ef | grep afs" -- you should see the process
/usr/afs/bin/vlserver" -- if not, the vlserver is not running, and cannot
be located.
When I bring a machine up for the first time, as the first machine in the
cell, I don't use the startup scripts ... I start the /usr/afs/bin/bosserver
manually, then check the /usr/afs/logs/BosLog to see that that was OK ...
Then I start the afsd process (/usr/vice/etc/afsd) manually, and see if I
can see "afsd" instances using the "ps" command again.
BTW, you're going to see multiple afsd -- the parent afsd forks several
children.
Please let me know what works.
