I'm very confused about the panic string, since it seems to tell me something 
is bad with
FFS/UFS.

More disturbing is the fact that the boot process into multi user stops at a 
compalin
about unclean /dev/gpt/tmp filesystem (mount to /tmp): The OS stops at the 
PAsswd: prompt
for single user-mode maintainance.

I can not understand why the system is stopping complaining about a broken /tmp
filesystem. I consider especially /tmp infill corrupt after a fault and I'd 
like to ask
whether there is a way to overrun this corruption and force a repair and mount, 
even if
the data contained in /tmp is after forced cleaning corrupt.

When using tmpfs backed /tmp there shouldn't be any stopp/fault of that kind so 
it would
be canonical to have it also for a hard-drive backed /tmp, or am I wrong?

It is not the first time that I receive this kind of crash under heavy load 
(box is a
8GB system with this CPU specs:

The not-so-funny-part is that I have those crashes under heavy load very 
frequent on ALL
C2D systems (one E8400 as shown, another has a Q4400 CPU, but also 8 GB RAM, 
same
motherboard). In all cases of a sudden crash, /tmp gets corrupted and the 
system refuses
to boot into multiuser mode complaining about the broken /tmp filesystem which 
can not be
repaired automatically.

Apart from this specific question about an unclean /tmp, this kind of crash 
under heavy
load on a specific hardware architecture with most recent CURRENT is puzzling 
(and
occured within the past 8 weeks several times with the same stupid blocking at 
the
broken /tmp partition). I also checked the hardware with tools like memtest86 
ensure
having no fault memory, but I can not exclude some kind of overheating the CPU 
since I
realized with CLANG and -O3 (which is supposed to optimise for vector units if 
available,
if I'm right) this increases the average CPU temperature by ~ 3 - 5 degree 
Celsius. This
is more obvious on a Dell Latitude E6510 with a first-generation Sandy Bridge 
mobile CPU
and FreeBSD 9.2/9.3: compiling the OS with gcc 4.2 (base compiler in that 
system), the
temperature is 2 - 4 degrees lower than using CLANG 3.4.1 with -O3 enabled 
(reading the
ACPI reported temperature via "systctl -a|grep tempe"). This is funny, isn't it?

Regards and thanks in advance,
