I assume, that during shutdown of the system one process doesn't terminate, even after getting the "kill" signal. So the root filesystem can't be unmounted successfully and stays in "dirty" state, since the clean flag could not be set because of this. So the filesystem has to be checked on the next reboot. You should have a look, which process might be the culprit. Maybe the kernel option: options SHOW_BUSYBUFS # busy buffers on shutdown ? can help you, to get a process ID. Maybe it's one of the process ID's that always are the same on boot, so it's easy for you to get the process which is causing this. BTW, are you sure, that this is a -current question ? -- Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas What gives you 90% more speed, for example in kernel compilation ? http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~fsmp/SMP/akgraph-a/graph1.html powered by ,,symmetric multiprocessor FreeBSD'' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
