[OpenAFS] ZFS rootdisk note

In case someone else runs into it...

Previously on test servers, I would simply mkdir /vicepa
and use it for a few volumes.

This (silently) will not work on a box with a ZFS rootdisk.

logs # vos create 192.168.1.240 /vicepa root.afs -cell foo -noauth
vos : partition /vicepa does not exist on the server
logs # vos partinfo 192.168.1.240 -noauth
logs #

You MUST 'zfs create -o mountpoint=/vicepa yourpool/vicepa'
