>Description:
I got another vnlock deadlock on another server. I think it's
different from the ones previsouly reported because this system isn't
SMP, and it happened while a dump -X was running. I suspect a locking
issue in fss(4), I have a core dump available if someone wants to
help me to look at this.
I think this happened on another system without nullfs mounts but
where I was also running dump -X. The result was the same ("proc -
table is full") but I'm not the one who rebooted it so I didn't
have a chance to look at the processes in ddb.
>How-To-Repeat:
run dump -X on an active filesystem ?
>Fix:
please :)
