No journaling, no softupdates. I'll try enabling softupdates next time. 
don't know if it will panic though

So I was trying to save the coredump in  order to reboot and run 
addr2line, but that failed:

Physical memory: 504 MB
Dumping 67 MB:(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): WRITE(10). CDB: 2a 00 01 d5 1f 20 
00 00 01 00
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): CAM status: Resource Unavailable
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): Error 5, Retries exhausted
Aborting dump due to I/O error.

** DUMP FAILED (ERROR 5) **

So I guess this error is related to the CAM errors I'm getting from time 
to time. I was hoping that those errors were related to the INVARIANTS 
option that slowed down the system and thus might have triggered CAM 
errors, but obviously the SD Card seems to be the real issue here.
So no crashdump for further analysis.

Interestingly the CAM errors didn't show up on the terminal as other 
times, the kernel just panicked straight away.

But I've got the addr2line output, even though I'm not sure it makes any 
difference:

addr2line -f -e /mnt/kernel.debug 0xc0d53828

ffs_truncate
/usr/devel/dreamplug/sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_inode.c:321

Didn't get around yet on checking whether the fsck issue persists if 
everything is compiled with gcc. Will take a bit, as I'm going to be on 
holidays for the next one and a half weeks. Fact is though, fsck is 
broken on the Dreamplug (ARMv5TE), at least when run on EVERY device 
that is attached via USB and if compiled with CLANG.

Currently I've run fsck on all the disks/cards that had a working world 
for the dreamplug on it, so they're all gone. Can't do eny debugging 
atm. I'll let you know hoe the gcc build goes once I'm back from 
holidays though.

Cheers,

Mat
