Issue

During shutdown, a race condition can occur when unmounting the file systems.  The race condition can trigger a page fault panic by dereferencing a NULL pointer when checking the locks on the file system.  System returns to normal operation after rebooting from the panic.
While this race condition is extremely rare, it cannot be mitigated by user or storage administrator.
