and right now, i'm remembering why i'm giving up on my MAC as a
server.  when i do reasonably big transfers of files via rsync it
just hangs.  the FS becomes unusable.  any process that touches the
FS also becomes unusable.  it never recovers.  you can't reboot
because you can't sync.  the only thing you can do is to power it
off.  damn i hate that.  my biggest beef with BSD is that it never
gives up when it really should.
