The B<afsd> command initializes the Cache Manager on an AFS client machine
by transferring AFS-related configuration information into kernel memory
and starting several daemons. B<afsd.fuse> is an experimental variant that

The B<afsd> command performs the following actions:
By default, the list of database server machines is transferred into the

divided by chunk size leaves a remainder, the B<afsd> program rounds down
the number of dcache entries, resulting in a slightly smaller cache.
