Thank you for your fast response :-) I use lvm2 for the file systems and I were able to resize it without restarting the service.

The only way to do this wholly transparent for the user with zero downtime is by juggling over all volumes to another server and then add vicep, upgrade OS and AFS (you probably should that anyway). The 1.5 or 1.6 series will have the demand attach fileserver which will give you fast restart (so fast that your clients will not time out and then it would not be considered downtime).
