Ahh, if I RTFM'd the whole doc, I would have caught this excerpt:

" These are set in conjunction with the global kmem_flags variable at cache
creation time. Setting kmem_flags while the system is running has no effect
on the debugging behavior, except for subsequently created caches (which is
rare after boot-up)."

The panic is happening when I tried to create a 10+TB eager zero vmdk with
the vSphere fat client. I'm assuming that it will happen a third time when
I use the same steps. Since I can't save myself the two reboots, I will
most likely try without the usual Hyper-V and VMware host loads and just
try to create the vmdk and see what happens. So I would say no, I'm not
changing any settings or configuration, just trying to do "normal" things
like create disks, although they are much bigger than anything I've created
before. I do have a 50TB LU for the Hyper-V hosts, but never tried to
create any disk that big on it. If I have time I'll try it on a Hyper-V VM
as well.
