Ah, ok.  I think I understand how it works..  BTW., does the 2GB limit
for files still apply for ext2 (mounted on FreeBSD, obviously)?  I think
I encountered this on 5.2.1 when ext2 was commented out from the kernel
Makefile (as module) and marked as "broken" but I needed it (this was
when I also encountered that "won't clean buffers" problem in the same
way as the OP.)
