            Bug ID: 255473
           Summary: Infinite writes when deleting  symlinked directory
                    with lots of files
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: xxjack12xx@gmail.com

Using FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #0 stable/13-n245116-edda63ba979a

When I rm -rf a directory with a lot of files like "rm -rf /usr/ports/*" and
/usr/ports is symlinked to another directory on another drive like
/drive2/ports

The rm -rf finishes but and returns to the prompt but gstat shows 100% writ=
es
to the disk forever and attempting to access the directory hangs.

When trying to reboot the system, it says there are outstanding writes and
eventually needing to power cycle the system to get it back to a usable sta=
te.

This has happened when I had it on 13.0-RELEASE
