Sounds like issues I had with a USB stick that I had from a 5.4
system and tried to put onto a 7.0 system. (Posted in freebsd-current early
April.)I had data integrity issues, couldn't re-format it on the new system,
would mount but as soon as I used it the kernel would panic, etc.
Bring it back to the 5.4 system, things were peachy.
