[gpfsug-discuss] Those users....

A very, very long time ago we had an AIX system (4.3 with jfs1) where the users logged in interactively.  We would find files with names like:

/C:\some\very \non-posix\path/file

There's a reason they're called lusers.

    I've got  114,029  files of the form:
    
    /gpfs/archive/tenant/this/that/F:\the\other\thing\what\where\they\thinking/apparently/not/much.dat
    
    I admit being mystified -  how does such a mess happen? (Note that our tenant users are
    only able to access the GPFS filesystem through NFS - which is only exported to other Linux
    systems....)
