I posted a note to GNaTs about this yesterday, but ...

There seems to be a reproducable 'system hang' related to, what I think, 
the unionfs code ...

In the first 'test case' that I've been able to easily reproduce with, the 
problem seems to manifest itself when I try and use unionfs to mount /usr 
onto a directory hierarchy for use within a jail ... that one is easy to 
reproduce, since I Just need to start the jail and it hangs just as 
sendmail (postfix) starts ... I can break down to DDB, at this point, 
which is what I put in my report (kern/84498) ...

The second one happened this morning ... I had mount_unionfs'd a file 
system, to play around a bit, but didn't try to start jail ... I forgot 
that I had left the mount there (had set it up last night), and by this 
morning, the machine was locked up solid ... I have a serial console in 
place, but no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to break to DDB ...

I don't know what else, beyond what I included in my bug report, I can 
provide, but since this is *really* easy to reproduce, and I am already 
setup for a serial console, if someone can provide some direction on what 
else I can provide in the way of information, please let me know ...

Thanks ...
