I began a bk export -du patch and shortly afterwards a cp -arl on the kernel source tree. The latter got stuck in ext3_lookup iget_locked find_inode_fast __wait_on_freeing_inode schedule The box is running 2.6.8.1 with SMP, HT scheduler and preempt (can send a full .config if someone wants it). No other processes are stuck; it looks to me like it lost a race. Is this a known/fixed issue, or is there something I can do to diagnose further. I have KDB compiled in and haven't rebooted yet.
