OpenZFS on OS X

Next time it hangs, see if you can run spindump from a preexisting ssh connection.

Can you instruct me on running spindump or point me to a resource never have before.

Your issue is 100% reproducable, I've raised an issue at https://github.com/openzfsonosx/zfs/issues/306.

Installing Xcode on ZFS is not a prerequisite for the failure, rather, it seems that even having just the project stored on ZFS is sufficient to cause an issue when launching the IOS Simulator.

ZFS is deadlocking. This accounts for the lack of filesystem activity you reported.

Thanks for doing the spin dump and opening the issue for me. It's been crazy with finals for me and have not had time.

Issue has been corrected in master. Note that ZFS and SPL need updating.

Thanks Lundman!

Sweet! Just built from source and am able to use the simulator without issue. Thanks!

For those in need of a work-around, it's the ~/Library/Developer directory that triggers the problem. Link that over to HFS and things seem to be fine. (At least they are for me, on 1.3.1-r2.)

Why not just build from source perry? I mean you've already got Xcode if you have this issue.

I reported something very similar to this in November of last year viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2097
