When I saw this on a large partition, the system was basically unusable
while it ran this, and it never seemed to finish this.  Eventually,
lfs_cleanerd's process size grew to be the size of RAM and the system
kept up a solid 20MB/s of disk transfers to that disk for a number of
hours.  I ended up pulling data from there (slowly) and using ffs since
I needed to actually get work done...  I keep meaning to go in search
of a good reason for that behavior, though.
