The snapshot code in sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_snapshot.c still prevents making snapshots on SUJ filesystems. So pick the way that seems best: dump without a snapshot, use something other than dump like rsync, or turn off SUJ: https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?&t=41503 Some people have mentioned that they see crashes more frequently with SUJ enabled, so it might be both the cure and part of the problem.home | help
