Better yet, get that sample 1.7KB zip file that extracts out to
hundreds of GB, and really thrash the system by doing parallel
extracts of multiple copies of it, and make sure that you've got
enough going at the same time that the result would be far larger
than your available disk space. That should be fun!

Yeah, especially if it's UFS2, you're doing softupdates with
background fsck, and you've used vinum to build the large logical
volume. ;-)
