[OpenAFS] really newbie question

[Nathan Neulinger]

If you rename /filestore to /vicepa on your file server (if it is a
mount point), and start afs, you can move the data in place through the
AFS client by mv /vicepa/old-data /afs/cell/...../path/, avoiding the
need for temporarily double the data size.
