The first was to use mount_devfs to, of course, mount the /dev directory
within the jail itself ...
The second, I used the same /dev that existed within the jail, based on
bulding a jail using a 4.x system ...
In both cases, the hang appears to be at the same spot, where 'sendmail'
(in this case, the postfix port) starts up ...
It would also be interesting to know: if you take unionfs out of the picture
(i.e., you use a regular file system for testing purposes), does the problem
go away?
Actually, is there a way of seeing what file systems were mounted at the
time of a panic from the core file? The system hung once more last night,
and I'm *certain* that it had nothing to do, this time, with my testing of
the jails ... I got a core of that one as well ... if so, then the problem
is somethign with the kernel since my last update on July 17th (I've
loaded my old kernel, and so far things have been okay) ...
I'm going to try loading the jail using this July 17th kernel when I get
back and see if it hangs as well ...
