Because the previous poster is being uncharitable with the facts :) 
There are a history of problems with -L (more generally, UFS snapshots), 
but these are believed to have been fixed over the past 2 years.  Since 
you are claiming to have found a new one, please follow up with the 
usual kernel debugging so someone can try and study it.

Since Dragonfly is FreeBSD 4 + some stuff it is unlikely that it even 
supports UFS snapshots.
