We solved the mount point tracking problem by maintaining a separate
database of mount points. We use a script to create volumes whenever we
create a new one that adds it to the database, we compare the volumes
found in the database with a full vos listvol every night to make sure
we've accounted for all of them, and we periodically check the contents of
the database against AFS in case anything moved.
It doesn't entirely solve this problem, but it partly solves it, and
solves a number of other problems at the same time. It was proving too
easy to lose track of volumes otherwise.
(Not sure if our ADSM backup system gets the mount points at the same time
as the files; it might, but I don't know enough about how that part in
particular works.)
