That was a typo when I was copying it down, its actually 0.1.1.1 in the code,
the rationale trying to be:
    0.x.x.x -> 'root' node, same as /afs
    1.x.x.x -> cell nodes beneath

I am still not sure if it matters that second level directories are a different
cell than the root, I was trying to emulate the regular afs behavior of
/afs/cell.hostname.tld/

After comparing them yet again, ended up getting a whole new set of errors,
turns out it was a thinko after all; missed a memset in the getnode handler.

Can anyone explain why the root node needs an inode number >0 in the dirent
directory files, yet passing anything to nnpfs OTHER THAN ZERO causes problems?

Thanks,
