Hi all, I don't know what the behaviour should be, but when I try to reboot a box which has fsck_ufs is running, it doesn't reboot and I have to powercycle it. Looks also like it just hangs. Do you experience the same at your side ? Shouln't we abort the fsck_ufs and reboot ? Martin Assuming that you are running fsck_ufs as part of a background fsck, the problem is probably that the fsck_ufs is in the midst of creating a snapshot. At the moment, snapshot creation is not interruptable, so the reboot is waiting for it to finish. I am presently investigating a bug which causes snapshots of filesystems bigger than about 250Gb to hang the kernel due to buffer starvation.
