I also noticed this behavior after I moved /tmp to MFS, this is the line = from my fstab /dev/wd0s2b /tmp mfs = rw,-s=3D100000,nodev,noexec 0 0=20 after this I occassionally get a dirty buffers, or pages message then the = system gives up on it=20 and reboots. please excuse the formatting. >>> HERBELOT Thierry <Thierry.Herbelot@alcatel.fr> 3/10/99 12:27:06 AM >>> Hello, One problem was the use of MFS (I had it for /tmp and had the same prob with sync) I don't remember if this was fixed or not.
