Hi all,

I'm kinda new to this stuff so please bear with me.

I'm trying to set up a AFS server on my Mac OS X 10.3.9 system, but i'm
unsure of how to mount or make my root partition.
I partitioned my HD into several partitions (i.e. MainServe, vicepa,
vicepb).  MainServe is mounted at / (which is good) but vicepa is mounted at
/Volumes/vicepa as is the behaviour of Mac OS X.

So when I do

vos create neonserve.csen.ufs.ca /vicepa root.afs -cell jamberee -noauth

it will return
vos: partition /vicepa does not exist on the server

and it won't accept something like /Volumes/vicepa as an argument or it will
return
vos: could not interpret partition name 'Volumes/vicepa'

I also tried to just create a directory called /vicepa, but it will return
vos: partition /vicepa does not exist on the server

So, I'm wondering how other Mac OS X users set up their root partition.  Do
I somehow have to change the mount point from /Volumes/vicepa to /vicepa,
and how would I do so?  Is using a directory /vicepa not acceptable
alternate?

Any help would be much appreciated.

You can use a directory if you touch /vicepa/AlwaysAttach
When I was testing this out, I simply did:

 ln -s /Volumes/vicepa /vicepa
 touch /vicepa/AlwaysAttach

If you look in the -devel archives you'll find other things
that might be useful: telling Finder to not put the 
/Volumes/vicepa drive on the desktop, or telling OS X to
mount the partition where you want it instead of at
/Volumes/vicepa.

You can edit /etc/fstab to mount a filesystem at an arbitrary  
mountpoint. I think 10.3.x supports that, although I recommend using  
10.4

You can also set the "nobrowse" mount option in fstab so that it's not  
displayed in the Finder or save panels. See fstab(5) for more  
information, or Google.
