Subject: processes hanging in getblk for shutdown on nfs client
Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk

On my nfs client system with /usr nfs-mounted, a plain reboot command
now always leaves sendmail and/or xntpd hanging on getblk.  The sync
then fails because of dirty blocks.  There was no problem until a
week or two ago.  There is no problem with the same kernel and similar
utilities on my nfs server system.
