 I figured out the problem in the meantime. Not only did I change the device,
 but also rebuild the fs on, and this thread provided me with the solution:

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?s=eecb9ad9ab9a673778a998ffeef1143f&t=471

 I.e. the default inode size in e2fsprogs changed to 256, so rebuilding the
 fs with an inode size of 128 fixed it.
