It would help ti give the actual reproduction scenario so we can all try it :) If your filesystem is low on space I can see this happening. Background fsck creates a snapshot to do its work, and you do a whole bunch of nasty stuff on a disk with low resources (or memory?) it can blow up. Would be nice to fix, though. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
