But MySQL should work since the MySQL files are not stored in AFS since I have
made symbolic links for the folders ~/.config/akonadi and
~/.local/share/akonadi to the local harddrive (ext4) and the MySQL files that
Akonadi uses seem to be stored in
/local/myuser/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql/:
$ df -h /local/myuser/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/mysql/.
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3       213G  192M  202G   1% /local

This is how I have created the symbolic links:
$ mkdir -p /local/myuser/.local/share
$ mv ~/.local/share/akonadi /local/myuser/.local/share/
$ ln -s /local/myuser/.local/share/akonadi ~/.local/share/
$ mkdir -p /local/myuser/.config
$ mv ~/.config/akonadi /local/myuser/.config/
$ ln -s /local/myuser/.config/akonadi ~/.config/
$ ls -l ~/.local/share/akonadi
lrwxr-xr-x 1 myuser mygroup 34 Oct 16 09:01
/afs/mydomain/myuser/.local/share/akonadi -> /local/myuser/.local/share/akonadi
$ ls -l ~/.config/akonadi
lrwxr-xr-x 1 myuser mygroup 29 Oct 16 09:01
/afs/mydomain/myuser/.config/akonadi -> /local/myuser/.config/akonadi
