You might be affected by this problem ...

        http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2009/11/15/msg011283.html

... which should be fixed by this commit ...

        http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2009/11/17/msg003307.html

... that hasn't been pulled up yet.

You can apply it your "netbsd-5" source tree like this:

cd src/sys/kern
cvs update -kk -j1.386 -j1.387 vfs_subr.c

        Kind regards
