 Do these actually accumulate on the UNIX-PC? I try to keep my system
up for as long as possible (the only problem I've found so far is that
/etc/wmgr accumulates memory, so you have to kill and restart it every
now and then), and after routine shutdowns and startups, fsck never
seems to find any problems. Have people observed the infamous SysV
disappearing-inodes problem on their machines? Are there other FS
problems people have encountered?
