Sight unseen, I'd concur on bad hardware. I earlier was bitten by the 
broken gmirror code and the only way I found out was that a failing disk 
froze the machine with just this sort of g_vfs_done() error. The disk was 
"Recertified" (thanks Western Digital for stellar warrantee behavior. 
Yeah), and was just waiting to do this to me. The reboot and mirror 
re-sync demonstrated the broken gmirror code, completely :)

All in all, a very fun-filled Sunday. But it's rib roast tonight, and that 
will make it easier...
