What do you mean "error"? Yes, fsck will complain about it, and yes, it should never happen in normal operation, particularly following a successful, normal shotdown, in which the FS clean bit gets set. I think "man clri" would be helpful to you at this point; you may also want to play around with running it on an FS you don't care about to see what happens... try it with several hard links to the inode being cleared, and try it with only one. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
