FBSD 3.2 Compaq Presario 710 Pentium 75 MHz 40 meg ram 700+ disk I wanted to turn my system off yesterday so I logged in as root and issued: #shutdown -h now Everything went smoothly and I waited for the shutdown and sync to complete. I then turned the box off and waited a few seconds. I turned it on again. I received the message (or close): / was not properly dismounted... Auto-reboot in progress.. Then it did something with the disks for / and /swap. I assume this was the equivalent of scandisk as it gave out a bunch of disk info and fragmentation numbers. After a while of disk crunching I got the boot prompt and then the login prompt. All is well. So what happened that caused / to not be dismounted properly? -Michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
