Hi all, I've just installed my first 5.0-rel system and did some "torture-testing". When resetting the machine to test the backgrounded fsck I experienced the following problem: All filesystems came back quickly and bg fsck worked fine, except for one. I had created a large (>50GB) /export filesystem on with fsck reproducively hang. I also couldn't reboot the system cleanly anymore, because of those fsck processes not going away. Finally, I commented out /export from /etc/fstab and run fsck manually in fg mode after the rest of the system had been checked cleanly. There were a few errors, and after that the check finished and marked the system as clean. However, mounting the clean system took several seconds and gave me this message from the kernel: FFS_SNAPSHOT_MOUNT: old format snapshot inode 4 Well, whatever... :) Nevertheless everything is working fine now, again. I havn't checked yet, but will this happen every time my systems reboots without unmounting the filesystems cleanly? Is anything wrong with filesystems that large, or could I have done anything else that causes this strange behaviour? cu Gerrit -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
