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).
