Hi! I like how the "Remote name" automatically gets filled in after
you've set the lockertype (I was creating an AFS volume). Would it be
make sense to move the Lockertype section up so that it was above the
"Machine/cell, Remote name, and Mountpoint" section. I skipped over
the Remote name section at first because I was trying to avoid typing
the full pathname, and was hoping that it would get filled in
automatically eventually. It did, but if the lockertype setting was
before that section I wouldn't have even had to wonder if the right
thing was going to happen.

I know we at athena won't be the only ones using this eventually, but
for us 99 times out of 100 we're creating an afs volume in the athena
cell and want the default path an mountpoint, so if those parts were
at the bottom you wouldn't have to look at it at all unless you didn't
want the default.

					Thanks,

					Carla
