The responses from Dag-Erling was pretty much what I'd
expect to see on
a linux mailing list.  Hopefully this filesystem issue gets
some
attention.

Scott... err... so that's praise for des ? ;)

Still, instead of being too disctracted by "social
issues". Does
anyone know if creating lots of files at the root breaks
UFS2 without
softupdates enabled and does this same thing affect any
other
filesystems ?

As to the social bit...

We ought to have something in the list faq and charter about
how you
should expect at least one "odd" comment from
someone every time you
post to the list.

articles/mailing-list-faq/

Besides, this is all "publicity" (as in, "no
such thing as bad
publicity") for the original issue and the more noise
the more folks
will see it and so on. Maybe des just did FreeBSD a huge
favour by
making more people follow the list, worry about it, test it
and be
sure it's fixed in the future ?

P.S. Personally I thought des' response was hilarious! But I
say that
with the greatest amount of respect for the original posters
brilliant
problem description.
