To expand this one in case of confusion, saying KERNEL here (for 
simplicity) I mean GEOM view of things things which believes (and I think 
it is a big mistake and source of many problems, including my one) that 
in-core table must always reflect on-disk table and vice versa.

More traditional and shared by many OSes is another view: on-disk table 
must be read once to the in-core table and forget at the running time.
