AFS is a distributed file system. So _AFS_ (here I'm talking about the 
client) doesn't care much about how much data is in the cells you're 
accessing.
Your fileserver  is using the filesystem on  your partition and thus 
that of the machine it's running on (I presume you're using Linux).
There are limitations in the number of entries in your volumes and in 
the volume sizes but I think you won't touch those in a cell with 
160GB.
