[OpenAFS] underlying FS type?

i'm wondering is there are any preferences for the underlying
filesystem used as AFS /vice partitions? i'm planning to setup a
simple software RAID under linux (for redundancy). i'm guessing the
filesystem isn't going to make a large impact on performance, but i
am wondering if there is anything i should beware of?
it seems there is a wealth of filesystems available to me; ext2,
ext3, jfs, xfs, reiser? it sounds like AFS does some fancy things
with unnamed files in those /vicep directories? is that incompatable
with any of these filesystems? it would seem something journaled
would be a safer bet, because of the crash recovery?
also, on the client end, is there anything better/worse for the
cache filesystem? i would guess the filesystem makes minor
difference for the holding the cache, but i'm curious to know if
there is any general knowledge out there.
thanks
