I am running Freebsd8.1 64bit Release and after closing my server application I come across this type of message Freed UMA keg was not empty (672 items). Lost 4 pages of memory The more virtual nodes I use the more of these message I have. Someone told me this does not mean anything but after reading this it seems I should be worried. It does show up in my log files as well. I wonder if running a fsck will resolve any issues after I have this problem? Hopefully we can find a solution because I rely on my application heavily.
