"fs lsm" applied to a symlink pointing at a symlink reads the contents of
the destination symlink as if it were a mountpoint:
/afs/athena.mit.edu/contrib/xpix > fs lsm pmax_ul3 pmax_ul4
'pmax_ul3' is a symbolic link, leading to a mount point for volume 'bindecmips'
'pmax_ul4' is a symbolic link, leading to a mount point for volume 'decmips_30'
/afs/athena.mit.edu/contrib/xpix > ls pmax_ul3 pmax_ul4 decmips_30
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jis 10 Sep 24 1989 decmips_30 -> bindecmips
lrwxr-xr-x 1 jis 10 Jul 6 1990 pmax_ul3 -> decmips_30
lrwxr-xr-x 1 chris 8 Aug 12 14:42 pmax_ul4 -> pmax_ul3
