google does; keywords "ntfs" "smbfs" and some other "UDF" ("Universal

I don't see any checks in APR by FreeBSD-using developers to try to
figure out if the file being served just might not be served properly
due to filesystem problems.
I don't understand where you're coming from on this "brain dead"

Every OS is a complete PITA at one point or another. It is not a
constructive talking point. We're beyond that and are trying to find
a practical way to avoid some pain for our users.
