Hello,

We are running openafs server on RedHat linux 7.1.  One our staff =
members somehow created an AFS file in the / directory in place of the =
afs directory.  AFS is still running ok but I cannot cd into any of the =
directories because it thinks /afs does not exist.  I cannot get rid of =
the afs file created because the system still thinks that afs is still =
mounted there.  Has anything like this ever happened to anyone out =
there?  If I bring down the services, then get rid of the afs file and =
recreate /afs directory, will I lose all my other mount points?  Any =
advice?=20
