When you say "referenced by a number", are you meaning the the
number that is the equivalent to the Fid in AFS ? In that case
replicas of volues to other servers will get kind of hard too
get working.

To get this straigth, are you storing the fild ViceFid { 1 , 2, 3 }
in /vicepa/1/2 ? In that case where to you store stuff like acl:s ?
