Thanks to /rescue and the live filesystem archives on current.freebsd.org, I was able to recover a machine that I hosed after the statfs change by trying to installworld without building & booting a new kernel first.
Great! Any changes you could suggest to /rescue based on that experience?
Regarding the performance loss due to the dynamic /bin and /sbin, wouldn't prebinding help?
Probably.
Profiling the dynamic-link code would probably also help.
NetBSD made this change a long time ago, and Luke Mewburn observed that switching /bin to dynamic linking prompted a lot of people to study and optimize the dynamic linking code, with big wins for programs like Mozilla and OpenOffice that rely heavily on shared libraries.
