[OpenAFS] Does AFS need a partition?

[Charles Clancy]

I assume you mean on the server.  It doesn't have to have a partition, but
it will only use directories of the format /vicepX, where X is some
letter.  If you create the directory and don't mount anything, it will use
your root partition.  A "vos partinfo" will report the space available on
your root partition.
