Hello.
Under local partitions, if you need to look for a file with a given
filename pattern, you can quickly search the entire filesystem with a tool
like slocate that builds offline an index of all filenames present in a
system, and makes then any particular search especially fast.
I was wondering if there exists a tool like slocate which can run on
openafs partitions.
I understand that this no trivial task to provide such a tool as I guess
it has to work with a client-server structure, i.e. a server doing
indexing and answering to client requests for a given filename search,
where the filename search is limited to the files the user has access to.
Regards,
Christophe.
