truckman 2004-07-01 23:59:19 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: sys/kern vfs_subr.c Log: When shutting down the syncer kernel thread, first tell it to run faster and iterate to over its work list a few times in an attempt to empty the work list before the syncer terminates. This leaves fewer dirty blocks to be written at the "syncing disks" stage and keeps the the "giving up on N buffers" problem from being triggered by the presence of a large soft updates work list at system shutdown time. The downside is that the syncer takes noticeably longer to terminate.
