That's exactly what they did, it's just that Apple built that
filesystem long ago: regular old HFS+ is what OS X uses for files that
need the resource forks. At least this is how I understand it on the
couple of OS X servers I've looked at. OS X itself goes on a UFS
partition but the AFS serves files off of HFS+.
You can even rebuild the desktop database of the HFS+ partition(s) on an
OS X server by booting the box off a Mac OS 8.x or 9.x CD and holding
down Apple-Option...
