With the recent ZVOL update zvol_set_volblocksize() accidentally
lost its mutex_exit(). This was noticed when zvol_create_minor()
blocked on the zvol_state_lock while it was holding the
spa_namespace_lock(). This caused everything to get blocked
up and hung the system.
Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager
which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully
ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port
too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU,
and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
