Hi Attilio,

I tried your patch since I had a similar problem but in my case I
usually seem to lockup 'zpool' or 'zfs' command line tools
immediately.
The txg_sync_thread [1] never makes the cv_broadcast for CV
tx->tx_sync_done_cv. So the user utility is sitting in txg_wait_synced
function at the cv_wait.
It his related to the bug your patch is supposed to fix?

[1] http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/head/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/ut=
s/common/fs/zfs/txg.c?view=3Dannotate

Just to note I sync'ed my tree from BSD 8.0 to the top of STABLE_8 so
far I've have had zero luck in getting ZFS working on any hard drive
and even on md devices.

Thanks,
~ Ali
