Sorry for the delay in replying. On the weekend, I dug out my pi's, and notes,
and unfortunately I was mistaken.

I have a rpi2 and an rpi3 which I was setting up at the same time (it turns out
"a few months ago" was actually October.

It was the RPI2 that gave me vfs errors under load - the RPI3 I couldn't get
to boot at all.

The good new, is, I have loaded the latest image,
FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-RPI3-20180628-r335760.img and it loads fine.

As such I have a virgin RPI3 with new sdcard, and a new USB stick, and I'm
willing to configure it however you want, to help the testing.

What do you think would be the best things to do next? Try and emulate Bobs
problem, or try some other stress tests?

Cheers, Jamie
