Hi Current & Hackers, I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this problem: Any use of bsdtar to create a new archive causes the process to be unresponsive to all signals and consumes 100% cpu time. The machine I am testing on is a Core 2 quad running in AMD64 (8 gigs ram, zfs boot, root, et al.) I have tried disabling the zil and prefetch as a precaution but can still cause the failure by doing the command below(trying to eliminate zfs writes as being the problem): #tar -cvf /dev/null * Unarchiving from tar seems to work OK. The bug may have been introduced a few days ago. I just noticed my machine doing this tonight when I tried to do a portupgrade and the creation of the backups locked up. Thanks, Peg
