Hi!

    Well, if you want to test the patch what you want to do is exercise the
    filesystem.  Things like cvs checkouts, buildworld -j N, the filesystem
    stressers in /usr/src/test/stress, and so forth.  I'd rather not tell
    people exactly what to do because then everyone would be running the
    same tests :-)
Alright, point taken.

What I did:
cvs checkout of src.
cpdup to another partition.
Ran fsx test for a while (~1 hour)
Removed the whole stuff again.
Made a realquickrel in nrelease.
No problems so far.
Tomorrow I'll do a complete compiling
cycle. Looks good.
Cheers
Peter
