Patches don't work for me on -current from about 1400UT on Thursday.

I was trying to move /usr to a new disk with:
# mount -o async /dev/ad3s3d /mnt
# cd /mnt
# dump -0a -C 16 -f - /usr | restore -rf -
and it panic'd when the restore was creating the directory hierarchy.
(/usr has ~150K inodes, not sure how many directories - there's one
src tree but ports, obj and ncvs are elsewhere).

Messages were:
buf daemon has some potential space 622592
panic: Buffer Daemon lockup newbuf

I have a crashdump and it looks like kgdb can make some sense out of it.
/mnt was mounted async but I'd also had a panic when it was mounted with
soft-updates (though the system rebooted before I got details).

BTW, this system _didn't_ have any problem untarring or building OpenOffice
(though that was into a different filesystem).  Let me know if there's
any more details you'd like.
