In addition to what Jilles has already suggested I would like to also advise that it's possible to use kgdb to examine the vnode and its lock. You can use kgdb's 'tid' command to switch to a thread of interest (it would be 100195 for your earlier report) and the you can use standard gdb commands to examine the data. Another, and more standard way, to deal with deadlocks like this one is described here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug-deadlocks.html -- Andriy Gapon
