The relevant lines in /etc/fstab read: /dev/da0s1h /ftproot ufs rw,noatime 2 2 /dev/da1s1e /ftproot/pub/archive ufs rw,union,noatime 2 2 /dev/da2s1e /ftproot/pub/archive ufs rw,union,noatime 2 2 The output of "mount" is: /dev/da0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) devfs on /dev (devfs, local) /dev/da0s1e on /var (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/da0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/da0s1g on /home (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/da0s1h on /ftproot (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/da2s1f on /ftproot/pub/repo (ufs, local, noatime, soft-updates) /dev/da1s1e on /ftproot/pub/archive (ufs, local, noatime, union, soft-updates) /dev/da2s1e on /ftproot/pub/archive (ufs, local, noatime, union, soft-updates) /dev/md0 on /tmp (ufs, local, noatime, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates) /dev/md1 on /var/run (ufs, local, noatime, nodev, nosuid, soft-updates) devfs on /var/named/dev (devfs, local) When I pressed the "reset"-button to see how background-fsck works, I found (with one "ps -ax" command per second) these fsck_ufs lines (the list is shortened to show each process only once): 21210 ?? SN 0:00.04 fsck_ufs -p -B /dev/da0s1e 21740 ?? DN 0:00.02 fsck_ufs -p -B /dev/da0s1f 38925 ?? DN 0:00.02 fsck_ufs -p -B /dev/da0s1g 47919 ?? DN 0:00.04 fsck_ufs -p -B /dev/da0s1h 2441 ??

DN 0:00.04 fsck_ufs -p -B /dev/da2s1e However, as long as the process "fsck_ufs -p -B /dev/da1s1e" was active, the computer's front LEDs clearly indicated activity on /dev/da2 and idleness on /dev/da1. In addition, when I booted (with a clean shutdown) into single-user-mode afterwards and issued the command "fsck -p", this output showed that /dev/da1s1e had not been fsck'd before: Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: # fsck -p /dev/da0s1a: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/da0s1a: clean, 465624 free (872 frags, 58094 blocks, 0.2% fragmentation) /dev/da0s1e: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/da0s1e: clean, 488425 free (441 frags, 60998 blocks, 0.1% fragmentation) /dev/da2s1f: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/da2s1f: clean, 2682280 free (68704 frags, 326697 blocks, 1.4% fragmentation ) /dev/da0s1f: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/da0s1f: clean, 1718077 free (89653 frags, 203553 blocks, 2.9% fragmentation ) /dev/da2s1e: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/da2s1e: clean, 37397755 free (1571 frags, 4674523 blocks, 0.0% fragmentatio n) /dev/da0s1g: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/da0s1g: clean, 9852072 free (4000 frags, 1231009 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation ) /dev/da0s1h: FILE SYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/da0s1h: clean, 12837348 free (34156 frags, 1600399 blocks, 0.1% fragmentati on) /dev/da1s1e: 7068 files, 62664422 used, 6812021 free (1605 frags, 851302 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) The Problem Report bin/19772 may be related, as it also describes a bug with union-mounts in which one partition is acted upon twice and the other is omitted. >How-To-Repeat: Create union-mounts and reboot without a clean shutdown. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
