I've been using ext3 for about a month now as the backing (/vicepa)
for an AFS filesystem.  This seems to be working well, but I just
wanted to make sure using this filesystem was okay with AFS.  I read a
posting which seemed to indicate journaled filesystems should not be
used to back AFS...so just to be sure... :)

Also, this ext3 filesystem is actually a volume mirrored between two
disks on a fileserver using EVMS:

/dev/evms/afs         10321140    732072   9064784   8% /vicepa

This volume is 10G, and uses 1 10G region on each /dev/hda and
/dev/hdb (raid1).

With EVMS, I can grow the volume (and the filesystem) -- will the make
AFS angry?
