other weirdness?

I really like DSFS, but it has one major failing: migrated data sets.

If a data set is migrated, it becomes 100% invisible to DSFS. If you can't see it, you can't even initiate a recall.

Therefore, if you wish to grep through a directory or something like that, you must first prepare the environment by recalling everything. That's inconvenient.

I realize migrate/recall is somewhat "old fashioned" but we still do it and I suspect others do as well.
