And I'd use namei on those, too. I just like to see that the data is
there.
I avoid the following file system combinations:
reiserfs+anything (puts your files at risk)
Solaris+ufs+logging+inodefileserver (will eat your files)
jfs on Linux (untested)
We should distribute solaris binaries for namei and inode.
