Hello,

Could you prepare a debugging kernel, so people can get a better idea
of what happens?

If you need some hints, take a look at:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/03/21/Big_Scary_Daemons.html

Various filesystem gurus will have a much better shot at figuring out
the real problem if you have a dump on a debug kernel.

Thanks!
