I have a machine sitting at the ddb prompt in exactly this state.
Anyone know how to dig something useful out of the current state
the buffer cache is in? I know how to find out what vnodes are
locked but don't know how to go from that to see what underlying
buffers are causing the problem.
I should be able to cause a dump of the machine as well but it has
2Gb of memory in it so transferring the dump to someone other than
me who could look at it might be painful...
