will worry about the jail's themselves ...
When I try and startup the 4.x jail on my 6.x machine, it "hangs" the file
system that the jail directory hierarchy happens to be mounted on though
... twice in a row so far ...
Now, I'm suspecting (and am going to try without it) that it might be
because I'm mounting devfs within the 4.x jail, but even then, it shouldn't
hang things up, only generate a whack of errors ...
I have a good dump (CTL-ALT-ESC -> panic), but do not have a clue what to
offer from within there that might be of any use ...
If anyone is interested ... ?
If you can get into DDB and have serial console output, the following would
be useful:
I take it that I can't get this out of kgdb? :( It will take me a little
while to get this up ... have the equipment for it, just don't have it
setup right now ;(
The output of 'show pcpu'
The output of 'show pcpu X' for each present cpu, starting with 0.
The output of 'ps'
The output of 'trace' for the currently running thread, and each non-idle
thread shown in the show pcpu output
The output of 'show lockedvnods'
It would also be useful if, relating to the startup of the jail, you can
identify the point in the jail boot where it wedges, and if you hit Ctrl-T,
what process is shown as running and what state it is in, and using DDB,
trace that process.
If you could show the trace output for each process listed in "show
lockevnods".
Likely, there is a leaked lock or a low buffer condition. However, once we
have the above output we should be able to say more. The above will
hopefully tell us whether it's a vnode deadlock, and ideally, the approximate
source.
