As part of some Immutable Service Container[1] demonstration that I am
creating for an event in January.  I have the need to start/stop a zone
quite a few times (as part of a Self-Cleansing[2] demo).  During the
course of my testing, I have been able to repeatedly get zoneadm to
hang.

Since I am working with a highly customized configuration, I started
over with a default zone on OpenSolaris (b127) and was able to repeat
this issue.  To reproduce this problem use the following script after
creating a zone usual the normal/default steps:

isc...@osol-isc:~$ while : ; do
> echo "`date`: ZONE BOOT"
> pfexec zoneadm -z test boot
> sleep 30
> pfexec zoneamd -z test halt
> echo "`date`: ZONE HALT"
> sleep 10
> done

This script works just fine for a while, but eventually zoneadm hangs
(was at pass #90 in my last test).  When this happens, zoneadm is shown
to be consuming quite a bit of CPU:

PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
 16598 root       11M 3140K run      1    0   0:54:49  74% zoneadm/1


A stack trace of zoneadm shows:

PID 16598 is zoneadm and PID 16082 is zoneadmd.


Is this a known issue?  Are there any other things that I can do to
help debug this situation?  Once things get into this state, I have
only been able to recover by rebooting the zone.



Please advise.
