Ah, okay, that was 50% of what I was missing. Before there was dynroot I was just an AFS user (had never seen the admin side of things) -- it never occurred to me that the contents of /afs were actually a filesystem. I guess this means that you can stick actual files in the top-level /afs/ (though they're only visible in your own cell, right)? I guess that would be a bad idea, though. Sort of kills the whole "shared global namespace" thing.

So "root.afs" is the default for "-rootvol", while the string "root.cell" is actually has special meaning for AFS.
