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

[Daniel Richard G.]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #24140 (project findutils):

You would be open to a compile-time option to link against the AFS libraries?
(I was under the impression that this existed in past versions, and was
removed at some point.)

If we use libafs, we may as well go all the way and have find(1) check the
permissions on each directory (if in AFS) and cue off of that.

(I saw your bug-thread on the OpenAFS list from last May, and in particular
the dirent.c test program which returns DT_UNKNOWN even for entries in
read-accessible directories, a situation I have confirmed in my AFS
installation. So a different approach is going to be needed at any rate.)
