Thanks a lot for your effort, this will make UFS even better. 

Unfortunately not all softwares follow the safe update practice. For example
I've lost my .zsh_history on crash yesterday. I assume that zsh don't fsync on
every command entered in the shell. I think I can do nothing in those
situations unless I gjournal my home UFS partition or I can just use
backups/snapshots. 

I had never experienced crashes in the past, but all my troubles started when I
moved my production system from 11.1 to 11.2 (vboxdrv caused me all kind of
troubles when running my Windows 10 vm machine, that unfortunately I need it
for my work). 

Thanks!
