I=E2=80=99m 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=E2=80=99ve 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=E2=80=99ve created a PR with the information I have: =
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D195458

With the EOL date of FreeBSD 10.0 on the horizon, it=E2=80=99s 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!
