not stored in NTFS. The AFS volumes are created in a NTFS partition
but the data structures are entirely AFS; not NTFS or FAT.
Data stored in an AFS volume can only be access via AFS. Using the local filesystem will not show you the files.

I originally looked at OpenAFS as a way to avoid using NTFS and FAT as I'm serving files to Unix clients and looking for full Unix support.
But I see that AFS on Windows works off the back of NTFS anyway.
I'm sorry if this is a little offtopic but what can we use instead of NTFS and FAT?
"There are no good NFS server implementations for Windows platforms. NFS implements traditional UNIX file ownerships and permissions, which don't map well to FAT (which has no notion of permissions) or NTFS (which has more advanced ownership and permission capabilities). Windows also has no notion of a symbolic link or a block/character special file. Consequently the best that one can hope to achieve is a clumsy emulation of a UNIX-like filesystem."
