[OpenAFS] The /afs directory

[William Roberts]

Hello,   We are running openafs server on RedHat linux 7.1.  One our staff members somehow created an AFS file in the / directory in place of the afs directory.  AFS is still running ok but I cannot cd into any of the directories because it thinks /afs does not exist.  I cannot get rid of the afs file created because the system still thinks that afs is still mounted there.  Has anything like this ever happened to anyone out there?  If I bring down the services, then get rid of the afs file and recreate /afs directory, will I lose all my other mount points?  Any advice?
