option 2 doesn't make sense.  using the cpu(1) as a test setup, please show
how such a wstat would work atomically if one does 'mv /mnt/term/foo
/tmp/foo'.  note that 'cpu' exports the local fs to the cpu it connects to
(which is then mounted on /mnt/term). also one can 'cpu' to a different
domain (i.e different fs).
