one of our main afs servers went down (i still have the volume dumps on tapes so i should be able to restore). i need to have something up fast. i have another box with 1.5TB raid array as one giant file system with about 500GB spare (more than enough space to replace the dead afs server). i wanted to configure this 1.5TB machine as a fileserver until the problem with the old one is solved. the problem is that i cannot simply create a new partition on the 1.5TB array (there is no disk partition on it at all, i think the normal partition cannot be that big) so i would like to have a sub-directory on the array holding the openafs volumes. just a crazy thought, would not symlink work (/vicepa -> /some/directory/elsewhere)? vlad ps: aplologies for messed up reply...
