I'd do basically the same things as with AFS.  We've recommended that
you put a read-write mount point for root.dfs named ``.rw'' in the DFS
root directory, i.e. as ``/.../cell.org.dom/fs/.rw''.

I'm surprised that the UFS aggregates act that strangely.  Perhaps if
you're starting from scratch, you won't bother with UFS aggregates.
