If this is the problem I think it is, I think if you upgrade lfs_cleanerd
to later than 20020426 or so, it won't do this any more.

If the cleaner is not running, a "sync" followed by fsck_lfs should tell
you if your ifile is corrupted, even without unmounting your fs.  (If it
is messed up fsck_lfs may not be able to help you yet.)

When you say "LFS" I am listening, though I don't always have time :^/

It might be worthwhile trying one of the 1.6_BETA snapshots...there is a
lingering race somewhere that causes my test box to fall over about once
every twelve hours in reassignbuf() (this is with QUEUEDEBUG, ymmv) but it
should be significantly more stable than an early April snapshot.
