 The inode-based server needs a file system which supports access by inode and usually a special fsck is required so that the AFS data is not corrupted (since the server does some behind-the-scenes stuff with the file system). The NAMEI file server does not pose any unusual constraints on the underlying filesystem - it's an ordinary userspace program working with (silly-named) files.
 
-You can easily see that you are using an NAMEI file server if there are files like `V0536871833.vol` in your `/vicep*`.
+You can easily see that you are using an NAMEI file server if there is a directory named `AFSIDat` and with subdirectories like `+` and `+1` in your `/vicep*`.

+Further, [[Tru64Unix]] 5.1 has only server support on ufs. The client is supported under Arla including `AdvFS` (but no server support as of Apr 2002). Server and client should work under DU4.0 and [[Tru64Unix]] 5.0.

+- **Question:** Does this table imply that clients can't use the NAMEI backend and still need a specific filesystem? Will this ever change?
