I adapted
https://lug.rose-hulman.edu/wiki/HOWTO_Use_sshfs_to_mount_AFS/DFS_home
as follows (TODO: wikify somewhere) for UNC and ubuntu=9.04:
0 Install FUSE and sshfs
$ sudo apt-get install sshfs
1 Create an AFS mountpoint
E.g. for my UNC AFS homespace
$ mkdir -p ~/afs/home
2 Mount an AFS directory to your mountpoint
I guessed server=isis.unc.edu (YMMV):
$ nslookup isis.unc.edu

Sweet! Gotta check from home, then do my other AFS mounts.
