I have no idea, but considering the space supported by the filesystem
it's probably a hell of a lot.
It seems like we've solved it; the Solaris ppc-dev repository has an
updated atomic.c which implements a kernel mutex for 64-bit ops. I've
forwarded this on, hopefully it ISN'T a hell of a lot or this is going
to knock filesystem performance on the head for 32-bit ppc :D
Thanks for your help.
