kern/92272 ... comments ?

[John Kozubik]

freebsd-fs,

I submitted this PR today.  I will continue to test and recreate it on
some other systems - perhaps even on 5.x if I have time.  If anyone here
has time, perhaps they could also try to reproduce it.

Two items I am curious about:

1. Has anyone seen this behavior before ?

2. Any comments as to the likelihood that this is an isolated, specific
problem (filling a filesystem while creating a snapshot breaks things,
and when it is fixed it won't) or if this is a more general behavior of a
larger class of problem with the snapshot/filesystem code ?

That is, will solving this problem only solve this problem, or will other
problems (discovered and not) be solved ?

Thanks.
