I started with installing PC-BSD-9.0RC3 then moved to FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE Shortly after I installed a world built with clang which found an issue with libthr that is fixed in 9.1 Until yesterday my only restarts have been power failure or updating kernel and/or kmods - I seem to have trouble manually unloading the nvidia kmod so end up restarting. I am fairly certain the restart I had yesterday is related to cuse4bsd-kmod which I have disabled for now to try and prove that. While I can load and use the current version the previous one is the only one I have been able to have activated during startup.
