>Description:
/usr/libexec/lfs_cleanerd is called when an LFS filesystem is mounted.  At boot-time, the various filesystems are mounted in the order they're listed in /etc/fstab.  My /tmp is LFS, and is listed before /usr.  Therefore I get a warning that lfs_cleanerd doesn't exist: it's on the /usr partition which isn't mounted yet.  
>How-To-Repeat:
/dev/wd0f       /tmp    lfs     rw                      0       2
/dev/wd0g       /usr    ffs     rw,noatime,softdep      7       2
>Fix:
A workaround in this simple case is to list /tmp after /usr in /etc/fstab.  

The problem is worse when /usr itself is LFS.  Another workaround then, is to first mount /usr read-only, and then read-write.  A better solution is to move lfs_cleanerd to /libexec, since this MUST be on the / partition, which is always mounted read-only first.  This way, any filesystem, even /, can be LFS.
