I've run a bunch of make world, make buildworld, make installworld, make reinstall, kernel compilations, ports compilations. I installed -current from scratch; first the february snapshot from a CD - hi Eivind! ;) - then I cvsupped from niobe, made world and built a kernel, rebooted, enabled softupdates on all filesystems (including root), compiled a bunch of ports (bash, ssh, lynx, ncftp2 and a few others). No fs problems at all. I *am* having trouble with that box, but I don't think it fs related. It's very weird though; the main problem is that init(8) just stops cold after running /etc/rc. It never starts getty(8). I tried adding 'set -x' to the top of /etc/rc, and confirmed that it runs through the whole thing, but stops cold right after /etc/rc ends. The console still works, kinda; I can scroll up and down with ScrollLock, but I can't type anything, much less log in. The machine responds to pings, but not to ssh; I suspect the problem is tty/vty/pty related. Single-user mode works just fine. I am running with DEVFS and SLICE, and haven't tried disabling them; there are lots of possibilities I haven't explored yet, due to lack of time (and right now lack of a monitor) but if any of you has a suggestion I'll try it out.
