I briefly ran an AFS fileserver on an Illumos x86 distribution
(specifically OpenIndiana) inside a VM. Unsurprisingly it worked.

You can use DKMS to create installable packages and just install those
packages on the other systems.

Hmm, not on Debian derivatives, thanks to DKMS.

Personally, I'm working on rolling my own SmartOS build that has the AFS kernel
module installed so that VMs could be AFS fileservers or clients. (Correct me

Long there was fear and doubt, but the (not) "quality" of HW-Raid
solutions and hassle of Linux SW-Raid convinced us that it could not
be worse with ZFS.

FWIW: I'm using SmartOS (USB device boot) to boot a "smart machine" (aka
a "zone") with OpenAFS. Giving up any large amount of space for boot

We stopped because of the memory fragmentation issue. ZFS will use ~twice the
arc limit you set, and (in my experience) if you don't set the it wisely (e.g.
20-25% total memory), your server
