I’m revisiting this issue, since unfortunately I still have it more often than not when upgrading to 10.1-RELEASE.
As Kevin Oberman suspected earlier in the thread, the issue seems to lie in unmounting. The same hang occurs when dropping to single user mode and trying to re-mount root as readonly.
I’ve also had another unmount issue after upgrading to 10.1-RELEASE:
All buffers synced.
softdep_waitidle: Failed to flush worklist for 0xfffff800027b4330
unmount of / failed (BUSY)
I’ve created a PR with the information I have: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195458
With the EOL date of FreeBSD 10.0 on the horizon, it’s making me a little skittish.
Any ideas of experiments I can do to get more info out of a problematic box, or other options to take?
Thanks!
