I'm not seeing it on any systems here. I had similar problems with my 10GB 2.2.5 6x86 box. The solution was to write a simple script which fsck'd my three SCSI drives twice; then called shutdown. It's been .LT. a week since I've upgraded to 2.2.6 but so far I haven't seen the same problem. If I didn't know better, I'd guess it was a problem with the ordering of /filesystems in fstab. But what was usually ``UNCLEAN'' was /home. So... Hoping that it was one of those mysterious bugs. gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
