Mybe it's unrelated to the areca driver, I can reproduce a similar
panic with ggate:

gune:/etc#46: ggatec create -u 1 -t 30 192.168.0.2 /dev/ad2p6
gune:/etc#47: mount /dev/gg
ggate1%  ggctl%   
gune:/etc#47: mount /dev/ggate1 /mnt
gune:/etc#48: cd /mnt/
gune:/mnt#49: l
.snap
gune:/mnt#50: dd if=/dev/null of=testfile bs=4k 
0+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.000090 secs (0 bytes/sec)
gune:/mnt#51: dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=4k
g_vfs_done():ggate1[WRITE(offset=6815744, length=131072)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():ggate1[WRITE(offset=6946816, length=131072)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():ggate1[WRITE(offset=7077888, length=131072)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():ggate1[WRITE(offset=7208960, length=131072)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():ggate1[WRITE(offset=7340032, length=131072)]error = 5
g_vfs_done():ggate1[WRITE(offset=98304, length=16384)]error = 5
panic: softdep_move_dependencies: need merge code
Uptime: 6h59m0s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort

Unfortunately I have only this production machine...

Thanks,

-Harry
