In most cases, the use of umount -f has been avoided in this code as it
is more likely to be hide some other problem that exists. I think I may
see the other problem that exists, but it would require a bit of
investigation to know for sure. By any chance are either of the
following true?
- The zone's /export/home file system has more files in it than it
used to. In particular, are there now enough files in it that find
will now generate more than 5120 bytes of output whereas before that
wasn't the case?
- The disk is busy doing other things such that these reads from
the zone's /export/home are pretty slow to return?
In any case, please let me know if you start to see this problem more
regularly. I've opened a somewhat low priority bug:
7126819 migrate_export can get EBUSY while unmounting zone's rpool/export/home
dataset
If it repeats for you I'll bump the priority up. If a fix is important
to you, please open a service request and ask for an escalation to be
filed.
