I thought NTFS was in play because OpenAFS wouldn't let me use a ext3 drive mounted using a IFS driver (ext2anywhere).

^ so I see that AFS isn't the answer to serving UNIX compatible
filesystems to my linux thinclient. In other words, I can't store all
types of unix files on an OpenAFS volume. I couldn't, for example use
OpenAFS to serve Linux ThinClients - re: ltsp.org ?
I dont understand this statement.. What exactly are you trying to "serve" to your thinclients? I don't understand what you mean by "UNIX compatible filesystems".
Are you trying to serve a root filesystem? Are you trying to serve the /usr filesystem? Are you trying to server applications and/or homedirectory filesystems? Any (but the first) is certainly possible using AFS. But it's still very unclear what you're trying to do and what you mean by the buzzwords you're throwing around.

Actually, for the really determined, you can even use OpenAFS for your root filesystem...takes a little work, but it has been done.
