To write, you must use the path /afs/.domain/volume
Remember that this is just convention --- it's a very highly recommended one, I think, and every place I've touched AFS uses this or some variant of it. What makes this work is the fact that /afs/.cellname is the mount point explicitly for the R/W version of root.cell for <cellname>, and going through that gets you the R/W versions of volumes --- the semantics for when the cache manager prefers R/O volumes and when it prefers R/W volumes has been sent out before on this list. -- Thomas L.
