some issues with 9-CURRENT

[Alexander Best]

since my first question got answers, here are answers to questions 2 and 3:

2: there's a problem report here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/108968

this still exists in CURRENT

3: i believe it takes so long to do fsck on a device in background mode
because a snapshot has to be taken first.

i decided i'd rather wait for a few minutes instead of running a system for
half an hour which is incredibly slow. i simply added the following to
/etc/rc.conf:

background_fsck="NO"

cheers.
