Under the /afs directory there are a number directories with
names that look like Internet machine names. These are all of
the remote AFS cells that WAM is "mounting." These outside
mounts are extremely slow, very flaky, and might not really
be up. If a link is up though, you can change to that
directory and access files on that AFS server.
If you use ls -l on /afs. The system will have to stat every
remote mount, many of which may not be up or are extremely
slow. You will have to wait a very long time. In fact you
would probably want to measure the time you wait not in
seconds, or minutes, but in hours. It's best to use /bin/ls
on that directory, with no flags that give you any
information on the file (such as l, F, etc.). Specifying the
path for commands (/bin/ls vs ls) bypasses aliases for that
command.
Note: WAM has no control on the reliability of those
cells, so they may never be truly accessible.
