A couple of jobs ago I was interviewing a candidate and the first item on his long list of "tech I know" was AFS.
AFS is a pretty rare filesystem, but at the time we were one of the biggest users globally, and it underpinned all our servers. Finding someone with good knowledge would have been great.
Me: "So, AFS is pretty rare - but, can you tell me about your experience with it"
Them: "Sorry, never heard of it"
Me: "It's the first technology you list on your resume"
Them: "Sorry, still never heard of it".
Not the best start they could have had in an interview, but have to give them credit for honesty.
