I want to report that FreeBSD 9.1 (release/releng/stable) is having
problem with ZFS and iRedMail. I was able to reproduce this on three
machines including virtualbox but I don't have debugging skill to do this.
1) FreeBSD 9.1 (release/releng/stable)
2) ZFS in raid1 configuration. I created swap partition outside of ZFS
and no change.
3) Installed iRedMail mail server from http://www.iredmail.org/
Before installing iRedMail, FreeBSD and ZFS are working normal. After I
installed iRedMail and rebooted the server to load iRedMail configs. I
rebooted the server again and it hangs after "All buffers synced".
I did the above again with FreeBSD 9.0 and it work normal and
reboot/shutdown without hang.
This problem is easy to reproduce since I tried different configurations
and disabled many modules including usb in kernel as well. FreeBSD 9.1
and iRedMail reboot/shutdown normal without ZFS.
