It will cause us a lot of grief unless we can find an alternative way to
run IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager.  We currently use the SCO v2 client
which has huge warts, but runs.

The linux client trips over the whole filesystem overlay thing badly and
I'm not sure disabling that to run just the TSM client is a good idea.
(Plus I hate the idea of maintaining custom kernel patches.)
