Description

Ok I've tracked it down. There are two issues, both related to the
fact that the filesystem is really small.

The main bug is actually with newfs_hammer.  When a small filesystem
is created newfs_hammer reserves way too small a space for the UNDO
FIFO. A 6G filesystem only reserves 8M of undo space! That isn't
enough. 100M is really the minimum. I am going to change newfs_hammer
to enforce that.
The second issue is that the filesystem is really too small.  I don't
want to disallow the creation of small filesystem but I think I will
also change newfs_hammer to spit out a bunch of warnings when people
create such small filesystems.
Finally, keep in mind that you may hit up against serious free space
issues and may have to run 'hammer prune-everything ...' as well
as 'hammer reblock ...' quite often on such a small filesystem,
depending on use.
