% rpm2cpio openafs-1.6-sl-1.6.10-0.152.pre1.el7.x86_64.rpm | cpio -id 
21904 blocks
% grep CACHEDIR ./etc/sysconfig/afs
CACHEDIR=/var/cache/afs

and this is what gets propagated into cacheinfo. Seems consistent to me. What am I missing?

If you change the sysconfig file, why not also create the directory?

I'm not sure the init script should create the cache directory. NB with SELinux, there's quite a bit more to do than just "mkdir".

But it should probably bail out if the cache directory doesn't exist.

Thoughts welcome.
