 Hello,

    I'm really sorry, but today I have tested the nanobsd.sh from
 9-CURRENT and I'm completely sure that the problem WAS NOT fixed. I
 discovered that building image is still extremelly slow and produces
 great disk load. After checking deeply, I found that image is not
 mounted in async mode.
 
 /dev/md2s1a on /mnt/system/obj/amtkit/_.mnt (ufs, local, soft-updates)
 
    I tried to mout in async manually - and it seems that async option
 is ignored for MD-backed filesystem:
 
 bakhtin@tarzan(14) /mnt/system/nanobsd/amtkit
 > sudo umount /mnt/system/obj/amtkit/_.mnt
 
 bakhtin@tarzan(14) /mnt/system/nanobsd/amtkit
 > sudo mount -o async /dev/md2s1a //mnt/system/obj/amtkit/_.mnt
 
 > mount | grep md
 /dev/md0 on /etc (ufs, local)
 /dev/md1 on /var (ufs, local)
 /dev/md2s1a on /mnt/system/obj/amtkit/_.mnt (ufs, local, soft-updates)
 
 As you can see - md2s1a is not mounted in async mode, and this causes
 extremely bad performance on ZFS.
 
 I'm pretty sure that attaching MD in async mode fixes this problem.
 Please review my patch and this bug.
