umm, random note:
beware the i_spare0 and i_spare1 fields of the in-core inodes...
they're used for internal consistency checking...
(i talked w/kirk mckusick about this; apparently he left them in
when he was doing last-minute debugging, before the net2 release...)
caused me no end of problem, once upon a time, and while not
exactly relevant to this thread, thought the warning might be apprecited by
some... 8-)
