I would love to use mount_null too because it seems like a good solution
for a number of problems.

However, did you read the BUGS section of the man page?

BUGS
     THIS FILESYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T
     WORK) AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM.
     USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.  BEWARE OF DOG.  SLIPPERY WHEN WET.

     This code also needs an owner in order to be less dangerous -
     serious hackers can apply by sending mail to <hackers@FreeBSD.org>
     and announcing their intent to take it over.

I crashed FreeBSD quite a few times trying to use nullfs.  Now I know
better.
