In the end that happens, but not after a couple of seconds already. I'm quite sure it is the copying of /proc that triggers the messages. The VT_PROCFS like in May 28 10:04:15 p100 /kernel: tag VT_PROCFS, type 6, pid 193, mode 180, flags 0 also seems to indicate this. If I do: cd / ; find . -fstype ufs -print | cpio -pdum /mnt it works just fine without messages (of course until /mnt becomes full like you mention above). I've never seen this procfs behaviour before BTW. | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands - Powered by FreeBSD - |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte WWW : http://www.tcja.nl http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the messagehelp
