It seems that we can still get AFS cache corruption under 2.0.32.
I have a machine whose video card is not particularly stable and will
sometime lock the machine when graphics programs mess with the color
map. Anyway, it crashed, and then /afs/athena/user/n (and possibly
other things) went away. This sounds to me like AFS cache corruption.
I nuked /usr/vice/cache and rebooted and things worked well again.
If the AFS cache corruption only occurs when the machine is uncleanly
shutdown, I'm not sure we can really blame the AFS code..... does any
AFS port handle that condition cleanly?
