The partition in question was created in ZETA and used a long time before I
fully switched to Haiku. Who knows if the setup that leads to the bug is even
reproducable on a partition that has only ever been used with our
implementation of BFS...
In any case, I am rebuilding Haiku with BFS and Block Cache tracing turned on
as we speak. Hopefully I can help track this down sooner rather than later.
Best regards,
