Strange, can you break to DDB and do 'show lockedvnods'?
I haven't done that yet; however, I did find 12 instances of the
following in the log:
softdep_waitidle: Failed to flush worklist for 0xc66e5298
A quick check and that message gets spit out whenever I issue any
of the following commands:
# mount -uo ro /usr/ports
# umount /usr/ports
# umount -f /usr/ports
A bit of searching on that error message tells me I've hit some
kind of a corner case with soft-updates. The filesystem was
mounted read-only, then upgraded to rw so I could update the ports
tree. After cvsup was done, I tried to take the filesystem back
down to read-only. The common case seems to be that the mount
change is followed too quickly after the large number of writes and
it somehow wedges soft-updates.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a fix other than
rebooting the machine. The problem is that the search results[1]
also tell me the filesystem may well be hosed and the reboot won't
be clean. Luckily for me, I can just drop the FS from /etc/fstab
and newfs the partition after the box comes back up.
