I have a patch that should clear up buf locking issues and race conditions
in vfs_cluster.c.  Since this code is so tricky I'd like to have a few
people test it.  You should notice no difference in your system
performance or behavior.

Please see:  http://www.chesapeake.net/~jroberson/cluster.diff

I will post on arch about the contents of the patch.

Cheers,
Jeff
