[OpenAFS] Avoiding NTFS and FAT

I thought NTFS was in play because OpenAFS wouldn't let me use a ext3
drive mounted using a IFS driver (ext2anywhere).

"AFS's permissions model is neither that
of Unix nor that of Windows NTFS.  (Under certain circumstances, that makes
it the worst of both worlds...)"

^ so I see that AFS isn't the answer to serving UNIX compatible
filesystems to my linux thinclient. In other words, I can't store all
types of unix files on an OpenAFS volume. I couldn't, for example use
OpenAFS to serve Linux ThinClients - re: ltsp.org ?
