[OpenAFS] Why must /vicepa be its own partition?

Is it still necessary that /vicepa be a separate partition dedicated
to AFS? I'm about to experiment with AFS and I'd prefer to share free
space with a large existing data partition.

This is on linux, so I gather that there's no problem with the
underlying file system/fsck. Are there other reasons that /vicepa
needs to be on a separate partition?

Thanks,
Brendan
