It seems that AFS can be made to crash pretty much at will with fairly
simple exercises.

Being a file system, one would expect rock solid performance.Not the case.

A simple cp -rpv /afs/.bigcell/foo /afs/.home-ted-doris.fam/bar hangs the
system so badly Linux won't even "halt".

If there's a problem with windows file names, (Jeff has stated so) it needs
to be documented. And fixed.

Those interested in stress testing (or even regression testing) AFS contact
me directly.

There needs to be a set of tests run on every release before its thrown over
the threshold.

No flames please.
