This is because xfs didn't find a fully started arlad when /afs was
mounted. This results in an empty /afs, and this is normal. When xfs
presents an empty /afs in this way, arlad is not probed for until a
process uses something in /afs. This is not harmful, unless some
program depends on listing the files in /afs.
If you are irritated by not seeing any files, issue the command
"ls /afs/stacken.kth.se" (or some other cell), and the files will
appear.

This is because xfs probes arlad for a root directory when /afs is
mounted.

If you use the script /usr/arla/bin/startarla, you will find that
functionality there.
