Nothing is holding up progress except my physical and intellectual limitations. Don't risk any of your work by helping. (Even the time to respond to email is significant, but I really do try to respond to email's as much as possible.) Note that I have disks filled with backup filesystems that can allow for me to restore within a few minutes. The bug can hose your filesystems before you know it, so for you to get work done, I suggest backing up to 12-mar or so. Normally, I solicit help more aggressively, but it is usually in those cases that I am not very concerned about people loosing their files. Right now, it is a good idea to stay away until things have settled down. I really am trying to solve the problems, and the delays associated with email would negate the help of the most expert filesystem person. I strongly suggest staying away from recent -current, until the problems settle out. If people aren't actively working the problems, it is best for them to use 12-mar. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@freebsd.org | it just makes you look stupid, jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
