[OpenAFS] ZFS rootdisk note

[Jason Edgecombe]

The fileserver will only mount a /vicepX folder if it's a mount point 
for a different filesystem or if the /vicepXX/AlwaysAttach file is 
present. I have personally dealt with this with using Linux on ext3 
filesystems.

I haven't dealt with ZFS. Does ZFS treat each folder as a mount for a 
different filesystem/partition?
