So, I have a corrupt BFS again...
Recovering needs about 48GB of memory, for a partition about that size. I
have a lot of small files there (lots of sourcecode), but still, this is
not really acceptable. I have to use a very large swap file in another
partition so the recovery process can work (and of course use a 64bit
system).
We should investigate how to make bfs_recover use less memory so it is
more practical to use it, without having to set up such a large swapfile.
