This is normal - or how would you estimate the free space of a
world-wide distributed file system? AFS just returns these bogus figures
- after all, your volume quota is the limiting factor, not /vicep* .

What's the filesystem of the cache? When it's ext3 as well, this
shouldn't be the source of the problems. I'd try again without the
lowlatency and preemptible patches...
