 Please try checking that your mkfs(1m) was run with the proper options.
You may not have given the new file system enough inodes; The news 
filesystem has relatively more files than many filesystems.
If you still have problems, use cpio -o and copy back with cpio -i, so
you will be sure where the problem is coming from.
	These cpio's can be done with a simple shell for each subdirectory 
if necessary.
