I''ve recently re-installed an X4500 running Nevada b109 and have been experiencing ZFS lock ups regularly (perhaps once every 2-3 days). The machine is a backup server and receives hourly ZFS snapshots from another thumper - as such, the amount of zfs activity tends to be reasonably high. After about 48 - 72 hours, the file system seems to lock up and I''m unable to do anything

Now at 36 hours since zdb process start and: PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP 827 root 4936M 4931M sleep 59 0 0:50:47 0.2% zdb/209 Idling at 0.2% processor for nearly the past 24 hours... feels very stuck. Thoughts on how to determine where and why? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi All, I used the following script from the dtrace manual to measure how long a particular process runs on the cpu. Modified it to look at the exact timestamps: [i] sched:::on-cpu { self->ts = timestamp; printf("on=%d\n", self->ts) } sched:::off-cpu /self->ts/ { printf("off=%d\n", timestamp) self->ts = 0; } [/i] The output looks like this: [i]on=24591 off=24603
