Andriy, glad to hear this :) I can give you root access and serial console access to a secondary server, that also showed the same lockups, like the big server.

I'll mail you the details.

Yes, I can do so if it's what you want, but wouldn't you loose the chance to identify the real reason for the lockups?

If a new kernel with your changes to ZFS sources makes the locking situation disappear, could we be sure that the real reason for the stuck, unkillable processes was fixed?

My proposal: I'll do my best to trigger the known bug on the current kernel and let you know. You have a look at this and when you are done gathering data I'll build a new kernel and see if the problem persists.

The server you will connect to runs on a 8.1-STABLE from Mon Oct  4 01:19:41 CEST 2010.
So your commits were after Oct 4th?

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/?sortby=date#dirlist

Or is this the wrong place in the src tree?

Kai.
