I am working every waking hour trying to understand the failure. I have a fully working kernel with no filesystem corruptions, but I am now trying to narrow down the fix. There are numerous bugs (of my own creation), and others have been helping me fix them. One of the bugfixes as a result of code-review has caused the problem to go away. Things are moving absolutely as quickly as possible, and the changes that precipitated the bugs are needed, as bug fixes and non-gratuitious performance improvements. I will be committing the fix for the filesystem munging problem as a minimal mod, so we can control things better. Make sure that the -current based code that you are using is not the bugged versions. I do not need anymore bug reports, because I am getting excellent support and help already. Also, I don't want anyone else have to deal with the bugs. The filesystem damage is repeatable, and ends up being uncorrectable!!!
