    What I'd be really interested to hear is if the ext2fs require 400MB of
    memory for disk check.

    I run into some problems with my disk server box after one power-out:
    Pentium1-100MHz, 48MB of RAM and 200GB of HDD with OpenBSD seems to
    be a bad idea since the disk check requires so much RAM with ffs. I
    tried FAT32 also it could not perform the disk check even there (exact
    error msg is not available at the moment) on 60GB slice.
    I'd better get that serial cable set up because without monitor I end
    up using the power switch on occasion and if the boot process expects
    user interaction before sshd is up I am in trouble.
