- This is serious! Can you tell me who you spoke with at FLD? If you don't get

-
- I've had several people calling me about problems with AFS and many of them
- vere infact using a "cracked" version of AFS, which resulted in loss of data.
- You can't mess around with a filesystem and hope it will work. Another guy had
- a version of the demo with the limitation removed, this will result in currupt
- data since there's no code to support larger partitions.
-
- This is why I wanted to make sure you weren't using such a copy.
