Lastly, if this will work what's the best way of determining whether a volume is mounted remotely or via AFP?
MNT_LOCAL will be false for all network volumes.
f_fstypename is the best way to test for specific file system types. For AFP, it will be "afpfs".
Both are covered in <x-man-page://2/statfs>.

Thanks. That would help me if I could have avoided bug 5702911 by flushing the client-side disk cache for a networked volume.

But since it appears that I can't, the other workaround is to not use mmap() on the *server*. For that, I need to know if the folder containing the file is being shared by AFS. Is there any easy/standard/public method for determining if a folder is contained within an active file sharing point?
