I know about recreating filesystem. In this case I don't care of the cache
size on this linux machine, it'll stay as AFS server. This note was more
to someone on the list that afsd of kernel module doesn't check returned

I used to have dedicated partition for cache, but I use it now for
/vicepb. :)
