For those not familiar with mkisofs, it is a tar-like utility used to
create CDROM images from a tree of files.

While creating an image with mkisofs, the following kind of thing happens:

AFS using 120689 of the cache's available 108134 1K byte blocks.
[Cache guideline temporarily deliberately exceeded; it will be adjusted down but you 
may wish to increase the cache size.]

Eventually mkisofs gets a read error on a perfectly good file.  We have
produced a fair amount of scrap plastic this way.

Our cache partition is like so:

df /cache
Filesystem    Total KB    free %used   iused %iused Mounted on
/dev/lv00       204800   52884   74%   16402    32% /cache

cat /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo
/afs:/cache:163840

Do we _really_ have to allow more than the 25% cachesize slop we are
allowing now?

How does the cache manager get off writing checks for more disk than
is in its account?  Is this government software?

This didn't happen with previous versions of AFS, but we may not have
tried a large enough image.

BTW, this is AIX 3.2.5.
