Hi,

when doing my first make release I noticed it stopped somewhere and
hung :(

74830  p2  D+     0:01.12 cpio -dump /mnt

The host is i386 and TARGET ist sparc64 just to confuse.
The base system runs a HEAD world/kernel from mid july.

The above cpio must be from src/release/sparc64/mkisoimages.sh

unlucky me tried to see what's going on and did a ls /u3/mnt
which also hung.

more unlucky me also typed in sync in another screen.

kill -9 on the processes did not help.

After another sync I am no longer able to remotely do anything
with the machine apart from successfully pinging it.


Somewhere in between I tried to ktrace the processes but didn't get
any output.

This is what strace said:

abcde# strace -p 74883		# ls
getdirentries(3,
^C <unfinished ...>

abcde# strace -p 74830		# cpio
write(4, ".............................."...,
512^C <unfinished ...>

abcde# strace -p 74920		# sync
sync(0^C <unfinished ...>


I found an older PR http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=47538
that might be related.

How are snapshots and release builds done by others ? Or are things
already fixed and I should update base system to latest head (thinking
about atang) ?

and btw: are /dev/mdXc supposed to be existent as given in the release
Makefiles/scripts ?

Thanks for any comments.
