The UNREF FILE message means there is a valid inode but there are no directory entries pointing to it. If you're running softupdates you may see many of these messages after a crash/reboot, since cleaning out unreferenced inodes is delayed due to how SU works. In -CURRENT, this fsck pass would have been run in the background after the system had booted. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
