Hello, I'm running various FreeBSD 8 amd64 servers, and some of them use ZFS = extensively. Unfortunately, I'm hit by the bug "PR 156781" = (<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D156781&cat=3Dkern>). After an undetermined uptime, the affected server will lose the ability = to list some of its .zfs/.snappshot: ls -l .zfs ls: snapshot: Bad file descriptor It doesn't look critical at this point, because snapshots still work = (creation/deletion), but you won't be able to access them via cd = .zfs/snapshot/... In fact, it is critical. If you try to unmount the affected ZFS volume, = your shell will freeze, and you have to reconnect in a new one. And more = importantly, the whole OS will freeze when you issue a reboot, meaning = it will never reboot until someone pushes the power button of the box. It's a very nasty bug when your box is 400 km away in a data center, and = you need to ask your hosting provider to push that button. I would be happy if the PR 156781 could be modified so that it says its = Severity is critical, and it affects both FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p5 amd64, = FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 amd64, and FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE sparc64 (ie. not = just FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE sparc64). And I would be very very happy, if someone could fix this bug, it's = unfortunately way out of my reach :/ FreeBSD si 8.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Sep 27 = 18:45:57 UTC 2011 =20 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC = amd64 $ grep ZFS /var/run/dmesg.boot ZFS filesystem version 4 ZFS storage pool version 15 $ zpool upgrade -a This system is currently running ZFS pool version 15.
