Then why are you whining in your first post about a panic. Take a nail, hammer it through your harddisk and wonder that FreeBSD panics. And yes, i know, Linux wouldn't crash on this. Next time tell the whole story in your FIRST complain instead of drawing a bad picture of FreeBSD by just telling parts of the story.
