[bug #24140] Painfully slow find(1) in list-permission-only AFS paths

[Andrew Deason]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #24140 (project findutils):

This can be fixed from the AFS side; the stats do not need to take that long
(we can avoid the throttling). That requires changes in the OpenAFS client
that we're still discussing, though.

In the meantime, or to support older releases, if you want to work around
this, the stat()s should go a lot faster if you hold open the directory while
stat()ting the contents. You can try this out without modifying find if you
just have another process opendir() and not close the dir.

Would it be acceptable for find to hold open the directory while examining
the contents, perhaps only if we determine we are in AFS? This is of course
only something I can say will probably work for OpenAFS; other client
implementations may do different things.
