Can I see the panic message and backtrace?

First of all CURRENT snapshot comes with a kernel, which contains some
heavely debugging options turned on by default. Turning off WITNESS
should make the ZFS works few times faster. find was the only test you
tried? Currently I'm using ported DNLC namecache, but I've a working
code already that uses FreeBSD's namecache and it performs much better
for such a test.

There were few nits after the import, which are all (or most of them)
fixed at this point, but I've a huge number of reports from the users
that ZFS works very stable on FreeBSD. If you could reproduce the panic
and send me info I'd be grateful.
