	There used to be problems with older versions where long filenames 
would get broken.  It looks like the limit is 255 characters in a 
filename.

	Hmm...  I've got .5k blocks and I'm actually a bit low on inodes.  I 
believe this is pretty much like UFS.

	I'm pretty sure this is all normal stuff.  I haven't heard of anything 
breaking because of roaming device numbers or anything.

	The weird thing I have had a problem with at one point is the lack of 
sparse file support.  I guess it wasn't really a problem, but I was 
playing around with large file support in ocaml and made an 18GB or so 
file and had to wait for it to be zero filled.  That doesn't seem like 
it'd have any effect here, though.
