I tried to use LFS on a SCSI disk I use for 'rdiff-backup's of a
few machines. In backing-up one remote machine, the 'rdiff-backup'
process writing to the LFS directory would wedge in a "vnlock"
state. The only way I could kill it was with a hard re-boot of
the system (1.6ZC i386). 'Rdiff-backup' tends to create many small
files; the problem could be there. It works fine on ffs+softdep,
however.
