Cool.. I'll try to give that a shot tonight/tomorrow; I've got ftp
downloading 061297 as I write :) .. I had worked up a fix that
would extend the freelist correctly, but it always seemed to
copy extents into the last added freelist sector rather than balancing
the contents correctly. Ugh. I think I was confused about the meaning
of f_nfree for awhile =:)

vsta is cool stuff; it's nice to have similar flexibility to Plan9
w/o the horrid distribution restrictions.
