Ah, yaaah. Hmm ....
This is the first I've heard of that, but I can see how that could
be. Could vinum be considered to be a form of (unintentional)
write-caching?
That might explain how the filesystem got terribly hosed, but it
doesn't help with the panic. Foo.
[ This is on a system that's been running in the current state for
around a month. So far, it's panic'd once (a week or so ago), and so
I don't have any feel for long-term stability. We'll see how it
goes. ]
