:I wonder is the new vlrureclaim() code somehow reclaiming vnodes
:at a bad time. Maybe try setting kern.maxvnodes to some really large
:value to see if it stops the crashes, or set it very small and see
:if they occur more frequently.

:Matt, can you see any way that the weird/broken ufs_mknod() code
:could interact badly with vlrureclaim()?

:Ian

    Not that I know of, but it is worth raising kern.maxvnodes to find
    out.

    Kris, is softupdates turned on on those MFS filesystems?
