Doing a ``find / -type f -print | xargs cat >/dev/null'' causes a panic
because of scrambled filesystems.
2.0.5R, Pentium 75Mhz, ``Sis'' [?] chipset, 24 MB memory, onboard ide,
WD caviar 1.22G drive.
System installs OK, comes up OK, and a manual fsck *before* doing the above
looks OK. After the panic and reboot FSCK reports essentially a trashed
disk (Inode 2 unknown type, etc...).
This is obviously a showstopper problem for me, since I have no way of
knowing what specific feature of the above pipeline is causing the
scrambling, and so I have no way of knowing if some other innocent
software or bumbling user will also scramble my file systems...
(Aside: Does the FBSD group regression-test the OS? I have reported other
problems caused by the above pipeline in the past.)
