FIlling up the file system on a vn device seems to be harmless in -current. However, `vnconfig -u' before umount is permitted and gives the bizarre mountpoint properties mentioned in the PR. doFS.sh is executed by `sh -e', so when the file system fills up, the build aborts without either unmounting or `vnconfig -u'ing the device. It is then easy to forget to unmount the device before unconfiguring it. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
