Reference thread at https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2018-January/068043.html tuexen@ writes Not sure this helps: But we have seen this also after system panics when having soft update journaling enabled. Having soft update journaling disabled, we do not observed this after several panics. Just to be clear: The panics are not related to this issue, but to other network development we do. Also reproduced on two new installs by my co-op students: - system panics for some reason, unrelated to filesystems - fsck SU+J runs after reboot - kernel reports many cylinder checksum failures

For now disable SUJ for UFS installs so installing from a FreeBSD 12 snapshot results in a usable filesystem, until this can be fixed.

Please retry with this change included as I believe it will fix the problem. New Revision: 328092 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/328092 Log: Correct fsck journal-recovery code to update a cylinder-group check-hash after making changes to the cylinder group. The problem was that the journal-recovery code was calling the libufs bwrite() function instead of the cgput() function. The cgput() function updates the cylinder-group check-hash before writing the cylinder group.
I tried this patch with success on my laptop! Thank you Kirk :)
With softupdates journaling enabled and this patch applied, I made my system panic three times followed by a reboot. System reboot was fine and no problems were observed.
