There's a patch in RT.

Someone posted code in RT for openafs 1.4.4 that does this for web 
hosting places that do not allow kernel modules but will allow customers 
to provide a kernel binary or something like that:
http://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=61009

Is that what you are talking about?

[OpenAFS] OpenAFS in a static kernel build

2008-08-31 Thread Russ Allbery 
Has anyone built OpenAFS statically into a Linux kernel with a recent code
base?

Does anyone have a feel for how hard this would be?

For background, the Debian project is talking about using AFS as a way of
transferring files between project systems, but the DSA-run systems use
completely static kernels as part of a defense-in-depth security policy.
(It doesn't prevent attacks, but it will slow down a lot of them.)
