It seems to me that test ignfail.sh do fail also on NFS mounted file system.
I am running FreeBSD 4.2 NFS server and client. ignfail.sh will fail on the
first test of the script, returning status 0 instead of 2. It tried it by
hand too and that was the same.
When running the same code on a ufs file system, the test pass OK.
