I don't know what happened to my long reply I was writing but somehow I sent a partially written draft. Odd. Look here for crazy crash info -- thread goes on for months with no resolve. VMWare refused to acknowledge the bug. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-March/239694.html As far as alignment goes -- every OS you use non-local block storage has had step #1 "align your partitions/filesystems". That's been true for at least 20 years; I'm not sure why people would think this is a new development. The good news is that 9.x+ uses GPT by default so the hard work is done for you. If you're having success on VMWare count yourself lucky -- I had a lot of people contact me off-list who couldn't publicly discuss this asking me for help as well. I still occasionally get an email asking if I ever fixed it.
