Looking at the kdb backtrace attached, it looks like you traced pid 7
(kupdated) several times - I assume that you have let the system run a
bit, re-entered kdb, and then re-traced pid 7?
If so, it looks like it's stuck in kupdated, at xfs_imap_to_bmap... but
if you have not left kdb, then you've just retraced the same frozen pid.
Can you let me know which it is?
If you did not hop in & out of kdb, perhaps you can try that once the
system "freezes," to see if the kupdated thread is moving or not.
Also, "bta" output from kdb (backtrace all) might be useful (and
verbose! private email is ok on that)
Thanks,
