Follow-up Comment #2, bug #24140 (project findutils):
Should there be an option, along the lines of -noleaf, that causes find(1) to
believe what d_type says for unknown entries? Would you rather have find(1)
autodetect AFS in some way to adapt its behavior on-the-fly? (IIRC, this would
basically amount to checking whether the canonical path is under /afs; that's
supposed to be the "official" method.)
d_type is DT_UNKNOWN only for non-directories. AFS "l" access does let you
see if a name is a directory, so that you can look inside it (potentially with
greater access permissions).
I could put together a patch; I just need to know what the acceptable
behavior should be.
