Description John F. Godfrey 2015-12-31 15:08:14 UTC

In order to run openafs-client, the machine must have a cache directory.  The current versions of openafs specifiy /var/cache/openafs.  The ebuild doesn't create this, nor does it advise that it should be created.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -av openafs
2.systemctl enable openafs-client.service
3.systemctl start openafs-client.service
Actual Results:  
1. client won't start due to there being no /var/cache/openafs present.

Expected Results:  
created, while asking for a size for /etc/openafs/cacheinfo, the directory /var/cache/openafs.  Or, somehow advised that this directory needs to be created.

I suspect this is a function of the systemd initscript being out of date as this *should* have been resolved for the openrc initscript in #544166.
