You've already done the right things: raising a PR and posing about your problem on freebsd-fs@freebsd.org, where it is going to come to the attention of developers working on that area of the system. You're next move should be to provide whatever additional information the developers might need to diagnose or reproduce the problem. This is really the crucial bit: unless a dev can understand what happened and how your system came to break in that particular way, it's unlikely they'll be able to fix it. If you don't understand what's being asked for, or how to roduce any required information, don't be shy about asking -- either here, or over on freebsd-fs@... It's sometimes hard to remember that the sort of debugging things you'ld do routinely and without a second thought as a developer can appear as pretty arcane mysteries to the uninitiated. You may find these bits of documentation useful: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/debu= gging.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kern= eldebug.html (especially section 10.1 about obtaining a kernel core dump, and 10.2 about using kgdb.)
