}Hum, maybe there's a problem here too.
}The fact that the total size changes is normal; there's no fixed space for
}metadata in LFS, so the free space available for data blocks depends on
}the space used for the metadata (so, from the number of files). When the
}filesystem is idle, the cleaner can eventually garbage-collect metadata and
}free some space.

Currently:

lyra:/stuff# df -k .
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/raid0d  54912677  7583326 46780225    13%    /stuff

lyra:/stuff# du -sk .
2392785 .

lyra:/stuff# du -a|wc -l
  115295

The space used seems excessive for what's there.  

lfs_cleanerd wasn't running most of today, as the window I was running
it in in debug mode died, and I was gone.  So garbage collection has
only been running for about 2 hours total since my earlier message.
