Hi,

Has anyone had any success with lfs on 2.0?

I ask because a few nights ago I set the new (to me) 7300 up with 2.0 and it's 
been lightly loaded, but running fine, until last night.

Yesterday morning I started building some things in a copy of pkgsrc
whos tree lives on a lfs formatted disk.  Everthing was fine until yesterday 
evening when I noticed that the make seemed not to be proceeding.  Everything
was still running, just nothing was happening.  I could log in and everything
was fine until I wrote to the lfs disk then the process would hang.

A reboot later and now make continued, for a while, then it hung again.

Another reboot and we get a assert panic somewhere (sorry, it was midnight)
in the lfs code.

Ok, fine, I can take a hint.  

disklabel
newfs_ffs

and off we go again, this time with ffs.  It ran all night with no problem.

lfs seems cool and seems to have a very high write performance, but,
does it work?

Thanks in advance.

cheers

bruce
