Yahoo noticed a deadlock in the vnode recycling code. If your machine below is hitting the kern.maxvnodes limit it could be the same thing. The way to tell is to generate a kernel core along with the debug version of the kernel binary (/usr/src/sys/compile/<KERNEL>/kernel.debug), and backtrace each locked-up process to see if any of them are going through the recycle code. Yahoo has a fix for that particular problem that they and I are testing. -Matt :NEWS # mount :/dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local, soft-updates) :/dev/da0s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) :/dev/da1s1e on /news (ufs, local, soft-updates) :/dev/da2s1e on /news/spool/overview (ufs, local, soft-updates) :procfs on /proc (procfs, local) :/dev/twed0s1e on /news/spool/articles/1 (ufs, local, soft-updates) :/dev/twed1s1e on /news/spool/articles/2 (ufs, local, soft-updates) : :The latter two filesystems have 10 big files with the cyclic news :filesystem on them.
