Followup to my posting of a few minutes ago:

One thing that I had not yet tried, was to re-install and select the
"experimental" hjfs filesystem.  Don't even try doing that, because it
will break your heart.  The installation fails at a very early stage,
with infinitely-repeated messages of

   % mount -c /srv/hjfs.newfs /n/newfs
   mount: can't open /srv/hjfs.newfs: '/srv/hjfs.newfs' file does not exist

hjfs works just fine for me, you likely gave it too big of a cache.
Use a smaller cache(512-1024), this no longer happens with an updated system
but it was not in the release.
