Would a=20

ln -s /usr/vice/cache /afs_ext3

work if /usr is reiserfs and /afs_ext3 is ext3?

I did setup a loop mounted ext2 file system.  So far it seems to work =
but
I'm still setting it up.

Even easier is to use a loop-mounted ext2 filesystem.  My machines all
run ReiserFS and use loop-mounted ext2's for AFS cache.  It works fine
and is very easy to set up.
