You can now add read-only replicas for your volumes by using the "vos addsite"
command. However, it is not recommended to do this for volumes which should
be writeable most of the times (because afs always prefers the read-only
volume over the read-write one). As for the home volumes, I would "vos move"
some of them to the other server, so that a failure of one server doesn't
affect all users.
