I've found that LFS is more unstable if one uses non-default
lseg/block/frag sizes when creating the filesystem.  At this time, I
recommend sticking to 1MB/8k/1k.  Also:

-- Don't disable vfs.lfs.ignore_lazy_sync; if you do, you'll likely
end up with vnodes stuck in IN_PAGING.  This is not fun and makes it
hard to sync disks upon shutdown.

-- Use vfs.lfs.pagetrip with caution (this might apply to MP systems
only).  The lower the value, the more likely it seems that you'll end
up with a locking assertion or something else.  There is some funky
problem when using this (seems to always involve the wakeup of the
writer daemon, IIRC, though I can't seem to find the backtrace I wrote
down last time this happened, so I'm not sure).  It may be related to
the problem ad@ described.

> I use it for /obj all the time, no tweaking, works great.

Is this on a multiprocessor system?  Me too, so long as I don't
deviate from the defaults it likes in any way. Also, I find that for
some reason that completely escapes me, it is more unstable as a root
filesystem.  Why?!? ;)
