 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.
