Of course, newfs halts, and the installation fails. I cannot find any reference anywhere as to what this error means coming from newfs. Since 4.2 and 4.3 install just fine, I have to assume this is a 4.4 specific bug, am willing to investigate it, but I need to start by knowing what the error means. Any guesses?
