I thought that this was just a fluke, but it has now happened three times,
so I guess it's now out of the "fluke" class.

I have upgraded several times recently to each 10.1 BETA and RC. After the
first install pass t install the kernel and modules, the system shutdown
freezes at the very end. I see the buffers synced to the disks and get the
"All buffers synced" message. Then it just hangs. The disks are not marked
as clean and are fscked after a reset and boot.

There is not much between the "All buffers synced" message and the call to
vfs_unmountall(), so I suspect it is hanging in that call. I admit that I
am pretty much lost whenever I look at the VFS code and I have not put a
lot of effort going further. Just hoping that someone familiar with it
might have an idea.

I have tried several reboots and all run normally. The problem only seems
to appear when upgrading the OS. It happened repeatedly when I tried to
reboot before doing the second "install" pass of freebsd-update, but not
after, so the kernel and world are not in sync. I am baffled as to what
could be going on, but it means I need to be at the system (a baby server)
when I upgrade, but not every time I upgrade. I know it happened on the
10.0-RELEAASE to 10.1-BETA1 and 10.1-RC1 to 10.1-RC2 upgrades.

Has anyone else seen this?
