yup. At one point I had a hacked up version of GNU find that had an
option to print out mount points as it traversed /afs directories,
and an option to not cross mountpoints as well. You can make it more
efficient if you use the trick that directories in /afs with
odd inodes are normal directories and those with even inodes are mount
points (assuming this is still true, I've yet to see a case where it
wasn't).
