The entire directory becomes inaccessible. This happened to /lib once. Nasty. I'd like to be able to use something like reiserfs, especially when developing (it reduces boot time a lot). However to call it 'stable' on 2.4.4 is simply wrong. If/when the nfs fix gets merged and tested *then* it stands a chance of being called stable.
