Let me jump in here (sorry for poor formatting, I'm on mobile).

I used to run -current on my Panasonic Lets's Note CF-NX4 using a GPT-formatted SATA SSD. I was also using full disk encryption set up by the installer of 7.6 before I made the initial sysupgrade -s to -current.

I did a sysupgrade -s a few days ago during my weekly system management cycle, and I got hit by this issue as well.

Naturally, I chocked this up to my own pebcak as I run a custom kernel due to quirks of my touchpad. As such, I never bothered to report this to misc@.

I later re-installed 7.6 and decided it'd be better if I ran -stable for the time being. But- now that I notice that others had this issue, it might not just be my "pebcak".

Maybe it is full disk encryption? Or- possibly full disk encrypted setups are additionally affected? Dirk, do you use full disk encryption on your affected machine? Or- do you have a multi-disk setup? More information on your disk and partitioning scheme on the affected hardware would 

I am using a two-disk system without disk encryption. The first disk, sd0, is the boot disk and contains the root fs. The second disk is externally attached via USB and contains /var/www and a /Development partition. 

It is noteworthy to me that the behavior appeared last week. This machine in the same configuration has been running current for about two years.
