[OpenAFS-devel] afs-nfs translator

[Neulinger, Nathan]

Not sure what you're intending here... The AFS-NFS translator presents AFS
data through an NFS interface, not the other way around. I don't see how it
would be useful to you for the purpose of retaining NetApp hardware.

You should probably just investigate NFS mounting the vice partitions (not
sure if that will work, but it's something you could try).
