+ ===========
+ TESTING AFS
+ ===========
+
+xfstests can be used with the Linux kernel AFS filesystem (kafs). kafs mounts
+each volume as a separate volume and, as such, allows them to be individually
+mounted on arbitrary paths. This allows xfstests to be easily configured to
+use specific volumes. This doesn't work with OpenAFS, say, as that operates
+with everything in a single superblock.
+
+xfstests requires that the volumes specified by forced to use RW volumes by
+prefixing the mount device with '%' rather than '#' as per the format of a
+mountpoint string:
+
+ %<volume>
+
+using the workstation cell, or:
+
+ %<cell>:<volume>
+
+using an explicit cell.
+
+For example:
+
+ FSTYP=afs
+ TEST_DEV=%example.com:xfstest.test
+ TEST_DIR=/mnt/xfstest.test
+ SCRATCH_DEV=%example.com:xfstest.scratch
+ SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/xfstest.scratch
+
+will use the xfstest.test and xfstest.scratch volumes located in the
+example.com cell.
+
+
+Note that AFS in general and kafs in particular lack a number of features that
+can be tested for and so a lot of tests will be skipped.
