Nope. Check our dmesg

datan # dmesg | grep -A 2 -B 1 char
Loading mod...
char device number 128
syscall 210
Using VFS slot 18

17 is the VFS slot as you see in the vfsconf output. (I have 18)

Do it the other way around. ie. ``mount_xfs /dev/xfs0 /afs''

Check /usr/arla/bin/startarla (it should work).
