I have noticed the following messages when booting up my laptop
recently.  Can anyone explain this to me, if it is good or bad (it looks
bad), and how I can correct it?

Sep 19 08:57:54 xtop savecore: reboot after panic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs
Sep 19 08:57:54 xtop savecore: no dump, not enough free space on device
(232748
available, need 753090)
Sep 19 08:57:54 xtop savecore: unsaved dumps found but not saved

I don't want to have "dirty bufs" any more! :)
