At work I've watched some of our BSD/OS 4.0.1 servers go down hard while
qmail had its queue totaly backed up. And when the ufs (running
softupdates) 500MB /var got to fsck'ing it could take over 8 hours.
(and yes, we know something was not right there, the problem has since
been solved for the most part)
Not fun.
