While testing existing fileservers I found som= e problems (9legacy) :

1) paqfs :

Using a partion written by "mkpaqfs -u" = as a root-fs with paqfs leads to "Bad Header Code" / "Bad Tr= ailor Code".

Are the current versions= of mkpaqfs and paqfs incompatible ?

2) kf= s/kfscmd

The manual for kfscmd lists "= ;noauth" as a command.

The current im= plementation doesn't support "noauth".

3) bootdir size limit

When addi= ng files in bootdir (kernel) there exists a size limit. After reaching this= limit the processor resets and the boot process restarts (bootloader : nbo= ot/9bootfat, ...). 

I found this limi= t by adding raw files and testing for my configuration. It would be helpful= l for others to mention the max size of the kernel image.
