I've been experiencing the same problem as well. I discovered that the di=
sk on which the filesystem was had some bad sectors causing dump -0Lauf t=
o fail while taking snapshot causing the system to panic. Running smartct=
l on the device indicated that there were bad sectors 40% within the surf=
ace scan being performed by SMART. The drive, an 80 GB Maxtor, was replac=
ed with a 250 GB Western Digital (for a very good price, so good a price =
I purchased two of them). It was 906 days old, having only been powered o=
ff maybe a dozen times over the last three years.
