Subject: Reboot(8) when fsck_ufs is running ?
Hi all,
I don't know what the behaviour should be, but when I try
to reboot a box which has fsck_ufs is running, it doesn't
reboot and I have to powercycle it. Looks also like it
just hangs.
Do you experience the same at your side ? Shouln't we
abort the fsck_ufs and reboot ?
Martin
Assuming that you are running fsck_ufs as part of a background
fsck, the problem is probably that the fsck_ufs is in the midst
of creating a snapshot. At the moment, snapshot creation is not
interruptable, so the reboot is waiting for it to finish. I am
presently investigating a bug which causes snapshots of filesystems
bigger than about 250Gb to hang the kernel due to buffer starvation.
