>Description:
During online filesystem optimization system can go to kernel panic on certain 
circumstances.

Our case was raid 0+1, ar0: 953877MB <nVidia MediaShield RAID0+1 (stripe 64 
KB)> status: READY

with /var mounted on /dev/ar0s1f (ufs, NFS exported, local, soft-updates, fsid 
382aad491192146c)

Server role is network gateway, firewall, squid-proxy, mail server and some 
monitoring stuff.
/var is heavily used by squid cache and mail-store.

Apparently, we hit online fs optimization threshold, which is (minfree-2 
percent) < 6.5 (current defrag level). In messages there are messages on fs 
going from TIME to SPACE optimization and it went fine, but after message fs 
going from SPACE to TIME there is kernel panic with following data:

dev = ar0s1f, block = 29238692, fs = /var
panic: ffs_blkfree: freeing free frag
cpuid = 0 
Uptime: 320d3h29m24s
Physical memory: 2035 MB
Dumping 270Mb

Maybe it-s already known issue, but better repost, than forget.

>How-To-Repeat:
Non tried as it-s production-use server.
>Fix:
Avoid using online filesystem optimization by good recepies given here 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-April/034711.html , or 
better use of planning file system.
