This is perfectly okay; many sites do this all the time. While there may
be minor issues for performance or organization depending on your
scenario, that's just a consequence of using the same disk/partition for
different things; it's not openafs-specific.

The only reason you have to do a little extra for non-mountpoints (the
AlwaysAttach thing) is so we don't accidentally use an empty partition
if something fails to mount properly.
