All space available on a partition ... unfortunately

Unfortunately this is really forseen to be used when /usr/vice/cache
is separate partition: putting auto while cache is only a part of 
another partition will lead to errors I believe:
- afsd calculates cache space on startup and it seems it does
not re-adjust it later: so if part of the space gets used by sthg
else one will see 'funny' errors about not being possible to
store file on afs etc etc ..

I believe that putting there 50000 or 100000 instead of AUTO
would be better default ...
