questions on nonsleepable lock

[Nex Mon]

thanks for your reply.

i didn't use WITNESS. it is disabled.

is their a list a list of which locks are sleepable and non-sleepable
in FreeBSD6.2? is sleeping triggered by a call to "sleep", IO operation
or a result of context switching by kernel?

thanks
