I found /dev/wfe0 online and installed it without realizing that the
device required /dev/gf0 be installed, since /dev/wfe0 was merely an
upgrade. Without the prerequisites, I could not mount /dev/wfe0 /home,
after much tweaking the device caused a kernel panic and I was locked
out of the system. That was a couple years ago.
I went to a new system and installed a new build, and tried starting by
installing /dev/gf0, then gf1, etc. Most would mount repeatedly, but
there was no data transaction with the kernel, recently, I installed
/dev/gf8, the latest version available. It would mount fine, and even
exchange data with the kernel, but in the background, it was logging to
shadowed file that I could not access, after several months that file
had grown so large that it caused a seg fault, the core dumped and
/dev/gf8 has disappeared from the system along with all the logs.
Ah well.
