   Hello

   I'm setting up a cell and want to install the AFS server binaries
   (/usr/afs stuff) in /var/afs.  I would have a symbolic link pointing
   from /usr/afs to /var/afs.

   The main advantage is that server /usr filesystem would be the same as
   my client /usr filesystem.  

   Has anyone done this?

Many servers at MIT/Project Athena (where they came up with the concept of
a "/site" partition before "/var" ever existed) have /usr/afs linked
to /site/usr/afs with no ill effects.
