>Description:

Under certain conditions (in my case, an ffs mounted without softdeps,
as a non-privileged user), the kernel can be made to panic:

panic: kernel diagnostic assertion "bytes != 0" failed: file "../../../../miscfs/genfs/genfs_vnops.c", line 1327

>How-To-Repeat:

mkdir foo
echo a > foo/a
echo b > foo/b
cd foo
cat * > ab

Eventually (I believe when the disk fills), the kernel will panic with
the assertion failure above.

>Fix:

Unknown.
