Oh, that makes sense. But how can I get it working ? Do I need to add
another Server ?  Can this server only be an afs fileserver ?

Will the ro-copy of my rw-volume on the same afs-partition (e.g. /vicepa)
use the same amount of space ? Or is this like a backup-volume only a copy
of the volumes metadata ?

Mmmh, find it out myself on AFSLore-Wiki. At admin-faq 3.13: ro-volumes on
the same partition as rw-volumes are only a metadata copy.
