Thanks a lot so far for working hard on that problem! Is there anything newer than "mount_bigger_2.patch", which considers potential nullfs problems? I'm heavily using nullfs (without poudriere), but I'd give it a try on my rather lightly loaded local 10.1 storage box =E2=80=93 almost all snap= shots are useless, can't access them in case of the case; which happens frequently :-( Would I have to expect any nullfs regressions with the april (mount_bigger_2) patch??
