>Description:
Occasionally, nasty bugs pop up in RAIDframe such that after dropping
into the debugger, the kernel hangs in 'syncing disks'. It'd be quite
handy to know about `call cpu_reboot(104)` or 'call cpu_reboot(4)` in
the ddb manpage (or even have them as flags to reboot (e.g. `reboot
nosync,dump`).
>How-To-Repeat:
Watch RAIDframe panic. Try to figure out how to dump core. Not know the
magic of <sys/reboot.h>.
>Fix:
Patch ddb or ddb(4)
