Hi, I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE and have compiled my kernel with optinion: options EXT2FS In my /etc/fstab I have added: /dev/ad0s6 /mnt/debian ext2fs rw 0 0 to mount my debian box. everything works fine except one thing: Shutting down via shutdown -p now ends up in the message: syncing discs, buffer remaining 403938383838383838383 .....giving up on 38 This means that FreeBSD is not able to umount/sync the mounted partition clearly. I have tried in /etc/fstab also the sync option but it ends up with the "syncing discs giving up" error message. Only if I umount the ext2fs partition gives me a clean shutdown. What can be done or how can I force the system to umount ext2fs partition before shutting down? Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang bang fruit
