Unfortunately I can't tell you for sure.  I'd say yes according to the
backtrace...  ISTR I did some tests to null-mount the _removed_
filesystem (former data/repos).  I think the following rename from
data/crepos to data/repos triggered something in the nullfs layer that
led to this panic.

Now I'm thinking about it, I remember doing a forced-destroy (-f) of the
original data/repos.  Would this mean the nullfs filesystem will panic
if the underlying filesystem disappear?  Unfortunately I can't afford
crashing this server once more, to verify this.
