Hi,
I've followed the man page to create, mount a md device and perform
postfix(snapshot-20001005) compilation on it; however, the building process
just hung after some(heavily?) I/O operations.
According to the advised "ps axl," it seems that the building process
was hung on process with "MD sec" in the WCHAN field. It's completely
reproducible on my laptop(tested on 4.1-RELEASE & 4.1.1-RELEASE). Sometimes
the "MD sec" appeared on 'syncer', sometimes the 'bufdaemon' stuck in it.
Following snapshot appears it just stuck in the 'cp' process.

Furthermore, if the building process was hung, it's noway to break
the process with ^C. If I issue a 'shutdown -h now' at this moment, the system
would try to flush the buffer and failed with "syncer...timed out."

The operating system has halted.
Please press any key to reboot.
BTW, I've tried MFS instead of MD last night. The building process
worked well; however, if I reboot the system without unmounting the MFS first,
the "Waiting (max 60 seconds) for system process.....timed out" message just
popped up again in the console. I've never encountered such problem with MFS
in 2-stable & 3-stable. Is there anyone who can verify this mystic hang for
me? TIA.
