This command return:     afs: loaded and configured

No, I used the binary distribution

1) List partitions:

$ ./vos listpar siuf.unifr.ch -noauth              
The partitions on the server are:
    /vicepa 
Total: 1

2) Partition info:

$ ./vos partinfo siuf.unifr.ch /vicepa -noauth     
Free space on partition /vicepa: 4184864 K blocks out of total 4184880
