If I understand Dirk's situation, path that should have been rw was

 /afs/cell/sw/foo

with volumes
  root.afs              root.afs.readonly
  root.cell             root.cell.readonly
  sw                    sw.readonly
  foo                   foo.readonly (not properly released)

In which case if normal mount points were used everywhere in the path,
then /afs should be readonly, /afs/cell should be readonly, and
/afs/cell/sw should be readonly but /afs/cell/sw/foo should end up
read/write because foo.readonly was in an error state.

The state of foo.readonly should not impact the evaluation of
/afs/cell/sw.  There clearly is something weird going on here.
