Some days ago I posted here a problem which I think must startle all AFS
or DFS sites that use ADSM. I got one (!) reply of one large site who,
just like us, now feel forced to contemplate switching to another
backup/archive system. All others remained silent. Is it indeed so that
AFS or DFS is used only by a few weirdos like us?

If you have AFS or DCE/DFS installed, please respond (to the list or to my
email address) so that I can get a picture of whether a DCR for future
basic support (simlpe files archive and backup, *not* access control lists
or other AFS/DFS specific features) would have a chance.

Please indicate shortly if you see a problem with what is described in
http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/ALESia/papers/afsbug.html .
If not, why not (e.g. exclusively AIX, no archival/retrieval, still on
version 2, users accept arbitrary detours to get their data, just don't
care)?

Best regards,

Helmut Richter
