Yes, lots.

That's right. Not only that, but ADSM won't even recognize an AFS file
system (as AFS, i mean) on non-AIX machines. we are very concerned about
the future of ADSM and AFS. In a previous version (4.2, I think), virtual
mount points were recognized on non-AIX systems. But that was "fixed", so
now it doesn't any more (version 4.3). We're afraid of the official ADSM
policy of "no support of AFS on non-AIX systems." We're afraid somebody
will "fix" that, too,so it will refuse to even read AFS files on non-AIX
systems. We have been trying to get a clear statement on this subject from
IBM, but they are totally incapable of understanding our concern (or else
they are completely unwilling to listen to them).
I find this quite depressing.
