Without concurring with the tone of a recent posting to this list,
I would like to underline a few points and add a few points:

* I too wish that reboots could be unattended more often.  But the
  Transarc supplied fsck for hp9k700 does not work well enough; nearly
  all of our emergency reboots require manual intervention.

* I too do not care for the cell-wide setuid-on-or-off restriction.
  I need suid on for system volumes, but I wish I could turn it off
  for user volumes.

* I am concerned at the number of things an unauthenticated root
  user can do: rename or move any volume, for example.

In contrast, however, to his regrets about the software and the
service, I must say that our experiences with Transarc and with
AFS have been _much_ more positive than our experiences with any
other vendor, including HP.
