No, it's user configuration dain-bramage.  How is AFS supposed to know
whether the parition filled because of itself of because you decided
to drop a large temp-file on the partition?  afsd CANNOT know that
you're on a dedicated partition, and historically there are sites that
DO NOT run with a dedicated cache partition.

Just run df, tune down to 85%, and live with the fact that your cache
wont use those few extra megabytes.
