I'm building a Debian package so I run "debian/rules build". It failed
saying it could not find /lib/libhandle.la.

There was no residual state. I have a copy of the CVS tree that I update,
and a copy I use to build kernels. I deleted the old tree that I worked
on, updated my "updated" copy, then copied that to a new working tree. :)

I remember this, too, which is why I asked to find out if maybe someone
had an update. Perhaps we can wait for Steve to let us know about how his
work-in-progress is doing. :)

Okay. I wonder if someone has ever written a paper or something about the
fragmentation in XFS and hence the situations where fsr really helps.
There is a current filesystem fragmentation study being done comparing
JFS, XFS and ReiserFS by a student taking his masters, but I don't think
it's finished so we can wait for that, too. :)
