From: Adam Megacz Jeffrey Altman, one of the gatekeepers of OpenAFS (the open source project which inherited the Transarc/IBM AFS codebase) has requested that the magic number 0x5346414F (little endian 'OAFS') be allocated for the f_type field of the fsinfo structure on Linux: https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2006-December/024829.html Add it to include/linux/magic.h, mostly as a way of publishing this number and ensuring that no other filesystem accidentally uses it.
