I'll ask the guys on freebsd-fs@ about that. For the benefit of the list (and google searches): It sounds like this was a short-lived bug in FreeBSD, fixed a few days ago: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2016-July/023586.html -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
