... unfortunately the manual
 ("Usinig the UNIX Backup-Archive Clients, Version 3")
does not give any idea what an "HSM client" is nor does it give a
pointer to related publications.

Creating documentation, which is better readable for people who are
not into the subject to a big extend (like mere client-admins)
would be a great thing!

Also some post-scriptum-readme ("v3-client crashes with coredump if
domain-argument becomes too long" ... ) would be highly appreciated.


In general I would say that "concepts behind" are sometimes hard to
understand.

F.e. I still not know, if or not I can get dms(stat) to recognice all
mounted filesystems as separate ones if the path to the rootfilesystem
involves a symlink (/NET/elgon/ -> / on host elgon).

I posted the question 2 weeks ago without response.
