I'd be careful with that, to say the least. There are a few files used
for locking and such in /vicepX (for DAFS in 1.5/1.6, at least), and
having them suddenly get removed or replaced with other stuff could
confuse or break some things.

If you make sure that you never touch /vicepX until after you've mounted
some 'real' storage, I _think_ you may be okay in all cases. But we
don't guarantee it.
