And now, to follow up on my original ... I now have two core dumps, if
anyone is interested :)
To give some details as to what I'm trying to do here, and how ...
I have a RELENG_6 machine, updated this afternoon, that I am trying to run
a 4.x based jail environment on ... and these are what are live/running
on my 6 productions 4.x machines right now ...
I have COMPAT_FREEBSD4 built into the kernel:
> strings /boot/kernel/kernel | grep -i COMPAT_ | grep __options
___options COMPAT_43 #Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!]
___options COMPAT_FREEBSD4
Now, as most of the "old timers" here know, my jail environment makes use
of unionfs to "mount" a template layer, to share common binaries amongst
the VMs ...
I have tried two different ways of doing this, both result in the exact
same 'file system hang' ... and I have a core of each 'method' ...
The first was to use mount_devfs to, of course, mount the /dev directory
within the jail itself ...
The second, I used the same /dev that existed within the jail, based on
bulding a jail using a 4.x system ...
In both cases, the hang appears to be at the same spot, where 'sendmail'
(in this case, the postfix port) starts up ...
In both cases, I was able to enter DDB using CTL-ALT-ESC and create a
dump, but, unlike a server crash, where you just basically bt the core
file, I really haven't got a clue where to even start to provide
information from the core's themselves ...
So, is there anyone out there able/willing to provide some direction on
providing more information?
Thanks ...
