[OpenAFS] underlying FS type?

[Derek Atkins]

For the AFS _SERVER_ (/vicepx) partitions, you should be able to use
any file system.  The only FS choice limitation is the cache partition
in the AFS _CLIENT_.  People have successfully used ext2, ext3,
reiserfs, and many other FSs for the afs server /vicepx partitions.
