And I find this a bit confusing Roger, as os9/nitros9 has never had to read 
lsn0 except the first time it accesses anything on that disk.  So I'm 
wondering where this got started? 

That might not be true if you're opening the disk in its entirety via the 
/dn@ operator, but I've not seen a normal usage situation that demands the 
file system be bypassed in that manner.
