ls can't access the files either, so I don't see how that could rectify
anything. The entire directory becomes inaccessible. This happened to
/lib once. Nasty.

I'd like to be able to use something like reiserfs, especially when
developing (it reduces boot time a lot). However to call it 'stable' on
2.4.4 is simply wrong. If/when the nfs fix gets merged and tested
*then* it stands a chance of being called stable.
