This is, maybe in a purely theoretical sense, not substantially worse than standard unix filesystems in that in _general_ one cannot expect a hard link into anything other than the current directory not to fail with EXDEV. Common conventions in filesystem layout (i.e. many more directories than filesystems) means that it works most of the time.
Symlinks in AFS behave just as you expect except that an '@sys' in the symlink is expanded to the client 'sysname'.
