I've used cfs.1.4.0.beta2 (from the port) on FreeBSD 4.x for quite some
time. The only problem that I experience is with directories with a very
large number of files.
For example, running ls -l in a directory with about 32000 files, cfsd
increases from approx 10Mb to 80Mb. Subsequently running cdetach only
decreases this to 73Mb.
I've regularly had to kill cfsd when it reaches over 280Mb!!
Any help / patches would be appreciated, since other than this leakage I
find cfs meets my requirements perfectly.
