It would be nice if the sipb locker made more use of the arch/@sys/bin
structure. I noticed that there were two volumes mounted on /mit/sipb
- "linux_vol" and "netbsd_vol", which looked like they should be
subdirectories of "arch". So, I moved them there, and fixed up all
appropriate symlinks. All is well.
To sum up:
There is now /mit/sipb/arch/i386_linux1 and /mit/sipb/arch/i386_nbsd1.
These are both mountpoints for afs volumes. They are not symlinks.
They both contain "bin", "lib", and "etc" subdirectories, which are
real directories, not symlinks.
In other news:
I would absolutely love to see the "/mit/sipb/@sys" symlinks go away.
However, this might break some people's dotfiles, which would generate
"bad press" (whatever that means in Sipb's case), so I guess we're
stuck with the stupid symlinks for all eternity.
Have a nice day.
-Sal.
