I set up an afs-server this morning, it works well. The initial goal I had
was exporting our /home directory with afs, it is, however, an nfs file

AFS fileservers use their own filesystem organization; you can't export
an existing file tree currently. There was at one point a "hostafsd"
that could do so, at a performance loss, but the code is quite old and
bitrotted.
So it is as I feared, I was asking because we use zfs with nfs-export to
distribute our /home directories for easy maintainance and backups. Do you
know, whether it is possible to distribute the afs volumes such as:
/vicepa/voss/<>.vol
In this case we might be able to apply the nice backup mechanics of zfs.
Thanks again,
Christian
