:Hello
:
:I got this new ext2-related panic today:
:
:panic: assertion: cnp->cn_flags & CNP_PDIRUNLOCK in relookup
:
:To reproduce it: (/mnt/ext2 is an ext2fs mount point)
:
:cd /mnt/ext2fs
:mkdir -p foo/bar
:mv foo/bar .  (or cd foo; mv bar ..)
:
:i.e., trying to move a directory up one level.

    Try this patch.  It's the same problem that Kyle was having
    with msdosfs.

    (The issue here is that the old FreeBSD code was not properly
    tracking the CNP_PDIRUNLOCK flag in the particular code path
    in question.  The panics started occuring when I added an 
    assertion to ensure that the flag is in the proper state.  So
    in that sense it is a 'good' panic in that it is catching a
    situation where a CNP flag is not being properly adjusted
    for side effects).
