I have run across a problem since updating to -STABLE a week or so ago...
my CVS vinum partition would go corrupt after a few updates. I have been
running with no softupdates on my system for a day now and no problems.
Has anyone else seen this?

No, I am just using vinum stripes. The problem seems to have fixed itself
when I got a ufs_readwrite.c update from Matt after it was committed.
This is an interesting problem, since I am not entirely sure what fixed it,

Well over NFS an exec will update atime (because NFS doesn't differentiate
between 'exec' and 'read').
Under Solaris8/Sparc (on a memfs mount) exec-ing an executable does indeed
update the access time.

Ok... I have just finished the first step in a rewrite of the hash routines
for berkleydb (read-only at this point), and I have ypserv compiled using
them. So far so good :). And ypserv uses a _lot_ less CPU resources now.
(I have totally removed all of the buffer management code in berkley db,
I am apparently bug-compatible with the original too, though it took
longer to trip over it (and the code runs LOTS faster :)... So probably
not tonight. I am going to be placing debugging statements in the code to
see if I can figure out where information is being stepped on.)

I thought now would be a good time to chime in on some of my wild schemes...
The reason I am interested in 'userfs' is to enable me to write a version
of 'nsd'. Those of you familiar with Irix will recognize it. For others,
what it does is to present the name-space on a machine as filespace.
