System hang on shutdown when running freebsd-update
> Another update. I narrowed down the issue due to /sbin/init being replaced. This might be the magic that freebsd-update does to make the crash happen. (Although there might be more situations that cause a hang.) > > I can completely reliably trigger the hang on a default 10.1-RELEASE install on UFS2 in VMware Fusion with the following procedure: > > # chflags noschg /sbin/init > # cp -Rp /sbin/init /sbin/init2 > # rm -f /sbin/init > # mv /sbin/init2 /sbin/init > # chflags schg /sbin/init > # reboot > => Hang after "All buffers synced."These commands do not trigger the issue here on a 10.1-RELEASE on VMware Player, but do it in a real system with the same release, both i386. When I last freebsd-updated this latter machine from 10.0 to 10.1-RELEASE, I also remember seeing the hang on shutdown. Hope it helps, Juan
