I believe the rationale for not making attachment be the default
behavior is that you don't want to attach a vicepX directory that IS a
mountpoint, but where for whatever reason the mount failed.

I believe /vicepX can be a symlink to any directory or an actual
directory. AlwaysAttach will cause it to be added as a vice partition
even if it's not an actual mount point.
I'm not sure why this shouldn't just be the default behavior, with an
option for 'DontAttach' to keep it from attaching a particular
dir/partition.

Ok. What if I add additional mass storage (say a bunch of USB hard
disks) which do not have any such partitions (mounted instead at say
/mnt/usbhdXX) ?
Mount them as /vicep? instead. It will be much easier.
That being said, there's some trick that lets you use a symlink from
/vicep? to the actual mount point. You have to create a file
that forces
the file server to still treat the partition as eligible for
AFS volumes.
I don't remember the magic, but someone else here should know.
