Re: kern/58033: Complete system crash dues to FFSv2 logging.



In general, NetBSD file systems have not (yet) been made resilient to
forced removal of the underlying storage volume, and may crash.

This isn't specific to ffsv2 logging; you can reproduce it in ffs
without logging, or in ext2fs.

We recommend mounting file systems from external media with `-o rump'
so they run in userspace and, in the event of removal of the media,
only crash a userspace process instead of crashing the whole kernel.
