I recently changed to aufs (on my servers running FreeBSD 6.1, after
getting tired of diskd troubles that I reported to this list earlier
on), and now I am seeing some kernel crashes now and then:

I wonder if switching to libthr (as opposed to running with pthreads
which I do now) would be more stable. Hmm, sigh.

Too bad kgdb in FreeBSD can not look into threads. :-/

I'm running with INVARIANTS and WITNESS on one server now, but haven't
had any crashes on that one since then.

Other than that, it seems aufs in FreeBSD 6.1 is quite fast, Squid
doesn't block for me.
