I decided to do some experimenting with snapshots and managed to
deadlock my system. (Basically, I had a cron job that was trying
to snapshot all my filesystems every 5 minutes - with a view to
being able to undo any accidents I might make). I'd reached
about 5 snapshots per filesystem when it hung.
I've found a few other anomolies with snapshots, but deadlocks are
undesirable :-(.
The system was still running normally, but nothing could access the
filesystem. Breaking into 'ps' showed that the deadlocked processes
were all waiting on inode. I've got a crash dump but would like
some suggestions on where to start looking.
The system is -CURRENT from 7th May.
Is it possible to produce a crash dump? It might provide us with additional
information on where it actually deadlocks.
Hiten.
