I am running a generic system on 12.0.  I did an upgrade to 12.1 today.  =
The upgrade command worked properly.  The first install worked properly. =
 The first reboot also worked.  However, the send install appears to =
have hung.  It has been running for an hour now.  Digging through the =
various processes I found the following:

2925	su
	2927	freebsd-update install
		4186	sort (bunch of args I didn't capture)
		4187	tr |
		4188	freebsd-update install
			45329	gunzip

The only process top showed was 4188 which was getting about 2% cpu =
time. =20

The system is on a ada0p2 which is a SATA 2 spinner with 384 G =
available.

During this time the number of used blocks for ada0p2 was growing quite =
slowly.  It seemed like it was about 100 blocks per minute.  Nothing =
else was running on the system. =20

Now the interesting part:  While I was typing all this in, it finished!  =
I have never had the userland update take anywhere near an hour before.  =
Usually it is on the order of 5 minutes.  What was causing this long =
update time?
