Can't comment on this bit.  Might want to send e-mail to Kirk directly.

This is your storage device getting unhappy, but I'm not really informed
enough on pst to say how or why.  I don't know if it is because the
requests are bad, or because the controller/chain/device is unable to
service the request.

This is the UFS ACL code failing closed: it's unable to read the ACLs from
disk due to EIO (I/O failure).  This is a correct response to that
scenario.

This appears to be a bug in UFS2's handling of corrupted EA data on disk.
We have some changes in the TrustedBSD development trees to improve
resilience to on-disk corruption, but haven't merged them yet.  Just to
confirm, could you use "gdb -k" on a copy of your kernel with debugging
symbols to see where *ffs_getextattr+0xe0 is?  For me, it turns up in
ffs_vnops.c:1616, which is a variable assignment.  There's a bcopy not far
above there, which seems the likely candidate.

Holding Giant here is good.  So to summarize:

This could be the result of a disk read failure.
The UFS code appears to be intolerant of said failure.
The ACL code failed closed properly, although perhaps not so usefully.
