Plans for Logged/Journaled UFS

[Attila Nagy]

For that problem, it can be true, the machine in speak has only 1 GB RAM 
(i386), although 8 disks.
The freeze is a different beast, I've got it on 32-64 GB RAM machines 
(with NFS), and on 8 GB machines serving stuff with ftp/http/rsync/etc 
(no NFS).
I'm not sure that the NFS and the non-NFS case is the same though.
