Just out of curiousity, anybody else have any experience with AFS on
Linux?  I had thought about implementing it a couple of years ago and got
to the point of thinking that its feature set was really nice before the
underlying project went away.  It does seem like a lifestyle change, but
as Dean points out, it does seem to have a lot going for it.
