 	Hello,
 
 	I have applied last patches. Now, my server runs 7.0.1. Last night, 
 after upgrading pkgsrc from CVS tree, I have seen "to many open files" 
 and fs was currupted again. Some directories do not contains '.' or '..'.
 
 legendre$ uname -a
 NetBSD legendre.systella.fr 7.0.1 NetBSD 7.0.1 (GENERIC.201605221355Z) amd64
 legendre$ mount
 /dev/raid0a on / type ffs (asynchronous, log, NFS exported, local)
 /dev/raid0f on /var type ffs (asynchronous, log, local)
 /dev/raid0e on /usr type ffs (local)
 /dev/raid0g on /home type ffs (asynchronous, log, NFS exported, local)
 kernfs on /kern type kernfs (local)
 ptyfs on /dev/pts type ptyfs (local)
 procfs on /proc type procfs (local)
 tmpfs on /var/shm type tmpfs (local)
 legendre$
 
 	If I remove async from /etc/fstab, I obtain a fts_read error. With 
 aync, error differs but result is the same. I have to reboot with fs in 
 ro mode to run fsck.
 
 	Best regards,
 
 	JKB
