First of all, please forgive me for posting to your mailing list

My question, is, if you build GNU findutils on your system, do the
-xdev option and the -fstype test work on AFS (you might test
findutils-4.4.0, for example)?   Does the patch described at

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2004-10/msg00026.html
and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=143111

(sorry if the changes don't work as well as they might have done, they
were written some years ago, the original bug submitter was
unresponsive).

If you are in a mood to test things though, is oldfind's -noleaf
option needed to correctly search AFS filesystems?  (without it, find
assumes that directories with a link count of 2 have no
subdirectories).

Thanks for any feedback,
James (GNU findutils maintainer).
