There's an easier "openafs" thing you could do:

make a new partition
mkfs the new partition
mount it as /vicepb (or whatever the next free letter is)
stop the openafs-fileserver
start the openafs-fileserver

Unless you need to create afs volumes or files on the fileserver
that are somewhere near the total size of the volume, there's no real
advantage to having a single really big filesystem.  Having multiple smaller
partitions should make life easier for the salvager, fsck, etc.

Yes, that's true and I am aware of it. But at the moment I am in the need to create one big volume, because I have to copy a big bunch of old user-directories to the new fileserver, in order to turn off the old nfs-server. Most of the directories will not be used in future, so it would be much of work to splice them up in smaller volumes. I'm planing to turn the old nfs-server into an additional afs-fileserver and then move the used directories to smaller volumes...
