[OpenAFS] ReiserFS /vicep, general performance with lots of vols in single part?

[Michael Loftis]

I was thinking about impact on vos create, salvager operations, etc. (I'm 
not sure what other things might create this list, the fileservers on 
startup?) that need to gain a list of volumes, or traverse a list of 
volumes.  Granted as you get more volumes it will always take longer, but I 
know for a fact that ext2/3 degrades in an entirely non-graceful manner for 
access items like that, whereas Reiser does not.
