AFAIK this means that the journal is too small for your machine - try doubling it until there are no more panics.If so, this is the same class of errors as ZFS (some would call it "tuning errors"), only this time the space reserved for the on-disk journal is too small, and the fast drives fill it up before data can be transfered from the journal to the data area.To double it is to do another newfs and start from scratch again or can I somehow increase the size without losing the data on the drive?
If you use an external journal, you can re-create the journal keep the data, if you use an "inline" journal on the same drive as the file system (the default configuration), you need to re-create both the journal and the file system (newfs).
Does a larger journal incease write speeds as I am finding them very poor around 60% of a sync + soft updates drive.
No. An external journal could help you to increase the performance.
