I guess there is nothing special to differentiate the 4 partitions
{/data0, /data1, /data2, /home}? i.e. all files can in principle go on
any of the 4 partitions?
AFAIK, there is no simple directive or soft link trick for that. The best
bet is the cache filesystem, see the mps/cache-filesystem doc:
http://xrootd.slac.stanford.edu/doc/mps_config/mps_config.htm
What currently manages the data on those partitions? Has it just been
statically placed there or is it being actively managed/staged by
something? (SRM?)
