As explained on -hackers, this is a bug, introduced at the same time as UFS2, soft updates, background fsck, and GEOM.. that is: 5.x. I hope someone here in -geom can look into it.

It won't be able to fix the problems, because writing has been disabled. This is definately a regression. I started looking into it, but never had the time to produce a patch. -- Rick C. Petty
