Does this console message mean anything?
vnode_pager_output: attempt to write meta-data!!! -- 0xfffe8000(ff)
I got this as a bold kernel message, followed by two copies of it as
standard syslog messages. (: BTW, multiple exclamation marks are the sign of
a diseased mind, or something. :)
I am using 2.1R. I can't see the console messages until I quit X, so I don't
know exactly what I was doing at the time, but the only unusual disky thing
I did was a sync (not immediately followed by shutdown). I was running some
partitions async.
Dmesg follows:
