I replied privately with no result, so I'll try the list again.

As I read the kernel deadlock debugging chapter, I see that it
operates on core dumps.  Once the machine enters this state, my
only recourse is to power cycle (shutdown hangs forever, processes
never die, etc).  No disk writes seem to survive the reboot so
if I'm going to debug it, it has to be while the system is live
but hung.

I'll re-iterate that it's tied to -L on dumps, no problems since
removing that option.

Suggestions welcome.

No, it (show lockedvnods, etc) operates from DDB; you need a serial or
other console.

You didn't read properly:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-deadlocks.html

That section mentions using ddb and the following ddb commands:
ps, show pcpu, show allpcup, show locks, show alllocks, 
show lockedvnods, show alltrace.

It doesn't mention core files.

Filesystem hang on 3ware 6.2 system
