Current xfsdump/configure.in in cvs looks in /usr/lib/libhandle.la
- but even if it doesn't find this, it will fall back to -lhandle,
so I'm not sure what the problem is?  (error message?)

Perhaps you have some residual state from an earlier build & need
to do a "make realclean"?  /usr/lib is where the .la and .a ended
up.

There have been some reports of fsr causing kernel panics - I
saw some mail fly by in the last couple of days stating that
problem was on Steve's work-in-progress list.

I think that in the general case, the improvement from fsr is
relatively small - but believe there are corner cases where it
makes a big difference.

cheers.
