Re: ls /afs: It takes a long time

[David Nichols]

Hiding the mount points to foreign cells somewhere is bad because it breaks
the getwd() invariant: If a program does a getwd() to find the working
directory, then chdir()'ing to that directory should work later, including
on other systems.  The "on other systems" part is what makes AFS great.  I
can say "pwd", mail someone the string it prints, and they can use it (or I
could if PARC where in the global file tree).

Mike Stolarchuk's hack is just the thing.  Can you post it?  Better yet,
can Transarc adopt it (or something like it)?
