The only thing we've run into when using ext3 was that multiplying the 
df of /usr/vice by 9/10 to determine what the cache size should be (before
afsd is started for the first time) resulted in the partition filling up
and OpenAFS complaining about no room left on device.

My guess is that the journal eats a percentage of the up disk and
that doesn't get taken into account.  Since I can't think of a good reason
to journal cache data, I just mount /usr/vice as ext2 instead.
