Ah, yes, programmers' promises; made a few of those
myself (always eat crow early while it's still warm).
Well, hopefully the destruction of one of my easily
replacable partitions provides a window into taking
care of the magic number failure for whomever has
responsibility for fsck --and serves as a warning
for the few who may have deployed UFS2.
One of the prices of running in the fast lane is the
occasional speed bump. Nothing ventured; nothing gained.
However, I will wait another week to convert the rest
of the file systems to UFS2 ... then again, maybe not!
