Then in my book, the patch didn't fix anything. :-) The system is still "deadlocking"; snapshot generation **should not** wedge the system hard like this. Also, during my own testing, I am always able to use Ctrl-T to get SIGINFO from the running process (mksnap_ffs). That behaviour does not change for me. The rest of the below information is good -- but I'm confused about something: is there anyone out there who can use mksnap_ffs on a filesystem (/usr is a good test source) and NOT experience this deadlocking problem? Literally *every* FreeBSD box I have root access to suffers from this problem, so I'm a little baffled why we end-users need to keep providing debugging output when it should be easy as pie for a developer to do "dump -0 -L -a -f /path/fs.dump /usr" and watch their system wedge. Also, a fellow on -fs just mentioned he's having this exact problem: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2008-November/005324.html > Also the following kernel message came out: > > Expensive timeout(9) function: 0xffffffff802ce380(0xffffff000677ca50) > 0.006121001 s > > There is also still some disk I/O. > > Dropping to ddb worked, but I don't have a serial console so I can't > paste the output. > > ps shows mksnap_ffs in newbuf, as we already saw.
