  Hi, David-san.
  Thank you for mail.
  I think the used(18004) exceeds maxvnodes(17979), isn't it ?

  The value shown above is the value at slow down time of 310.locate.
The number of used vnodes is low at boot up until 310.locate invoked.

> Did you get a backtrace from the panics?

  It's too hard for me. Is there any way to do it ?
