[OpenAFS] Two questions AFS as a *large* webserver system backend in lieu of NFS

[David Thompson]

In cases where we have needed devices in /afs, we mount a tmpfs file system 
over /dev in the jail (in afs), and populate it as needed.

This may or may not work for you.  As was pointed out, devices in /afs would 
have their own set of problems...
