If the sfscd server terminates non-gracefully, you might get "Device
busy" errors when trying rerun sfscd. To fix this problem,

1) Make sure none of your shells or programs have a current working
directory at or below /sfs

2) Type umount /sfs
Note: There is no letter 'n' in 'umount'

To track down nasties like seg faults, you can run sfscd under the gdb
debugger.
