Hey freebsd-questions don't wanna cause you pain but the big boys feel no 
sorrow!

I have fsck -p -y coredump on every cold reboot.
The only unusual things to cause this are: it's a GPT volume and the nullfs is 
used extensively.
I think this is because of the the GPT because I can't geom_label on that 
UFS1+J volume, but I can use geom_label on an 'unjournalled' ad1p4 partition.
Of course I use geom_label for / and it has no journal.

The setup is:

so it's enough to know that ad1p4.journal is an /usr/local.
Should I place /tmp on a different volume for 'fast' fsck -p feature? It's a 
symlink by now:
tmp -> var/tmp and var -> /usr/local/var
I see nothing I can use for a guess about a fsck_ufs segfault. The dumps and a 
core are there:

  http://119out.smtp.ru/kdump.out
  http://119out.smtp.ru/ktrace.out
  http://119out.smtp.ru/truss.out
  http://119out.smtp.ru/_fsck_ufs.core.gz

The cold reboot is caused by cpu overheating and I'm absolutely sure of other 
parts of hardware, especially the HDD. I just made a cpu more silent ( and 
sometimes hot ). But typically it happens when sound outputs from the c-media 
built-in.
fsck -y has no problems and lost+founds are typically only a few inodes, may be 
5.
I tried with unionfs on a volume in a past but I believe I wiped the whiteouts 
out since then.
The only fsck -p passed I saw after cold reboot were when I believe all of the 
files open on that volume were open read-only.

Many thanks for any hints, clues and ideas on all of that. Should I file a PR 
better?
