I tried it only once with some 2.0beta. When it got 100% full (no free
inode) I could not even mount it. I could crash it by copying the pkgsrc
tree to it. But that has been some months ago. It may be better now.

NetBSD bootblocks should support lfs but given its stability this
feature is not important yet. I am not sure about grub, it has been
updated to support some NetBSD filesystem but I think it was ffs2.
