Here's a simple yes-or-no question... I have two servers: X (with a /vicepa) and Y (with another /vicepa). Can OpenAFS be used to mount a common /home (or /afs/<cellname>/home) across the two servers where the total space available in /home is approximately the sum of the disk space of /vicepa on X and /vicepa on Y?
No. AFS does not distribute the contents of a volume across multiple partitions, either on the same server or on different servers.
What you can (and should) do is set up a small /afs/<cell>/home which is replicated across both servers, and then create separate volumes for each user, mounted inside it. Each individual user's volume would reside on only one server, but it is easy to move them around to balance space usage (in fact, there are automated tools available for this), and such moves are completely transparent.
