I have strong circumstantial evidence that weird things happen when you don't have 8:1, but not when you have it. I haven't been able to pin things down enough to get a good bug report, however. Maybe it is a red herring, but making only that change to a mfs mount creation (eg 4:1 -> 8:1) turns a system from a hang bait on boot (1 in 4 boots hang) to rock solid (> 1000 boots w/o a hang).
