I have been running ESIX FFS (SYSV compatible filenames) on all
partitions since November without any problems attributable to FFS.  I
am even running on a WD1006V-SR2 RLL controller with 2 CDC Wren II MFM
drives.  I do not have a news or mail feed on the box, so the file
systems aren't stressed from that.  But I do play with Roell's X11R4 a
fair bit and compile almost every utility known to Usenet.
