The data is still on the partition and the partition is a guilty fs, ou
can just copy the files.
And with a perl script you can extract the cleartext files/data from a
OpenAFS /vicepX partiton. It is NOT crypted nor scrambled or else securit=
y.
Each user with access to the partitions has full access to the data.
