We are running /vicepa under reiserfs. ext3 is also possible, but we chose
reiserfs because it is online-resizeable. So to say, we can increase
the AFS-space without shutting down the server.

This might be possible. If you'll really get a reiserfs-crash then you can
be sure that there is trailing garbage at the end of your files.

The salvager works well for us. We don't fsck the /vicepa on bootup.
