Jeff, Kris Kennaway directed me to this thread from FreeBSD-questions. I am seeing a "panic: unmount: dangling vnode" with 6.0-RELEASE. Here are the relevant threads: 2 probs w/ backup.sh: "Device busy" and "dangling vnode" http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-March/114825.html "Panic: unmount: dangling vnode" http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-March/115060.html If relevant, I may be able to test your patch, but the problem is occurring only rarely. Do you have any suggestions for isolating and reproducing this bug? Also, we are seeing this problem on a production box. I notice that the patch fixes 6 issues, and apparently "breaks the kernel ABI," which sounds nasty from out here in userland. Any chance of getting a patch that isolates this specific issue? I'll be more likely able to apply such a patch. Our alternative is to simply keep our backup drive always mounted until 6.1 comes out and test your patch then. :^) Thoughts? Thanks for your work on this.
