It's not a production machine so I was going to let it run its course. The messages stopped appearing after a couple of days. I reviewed my logs and couldn't find anything more revealing and my system appeared to be functioning well. Likely unrelated but my new activities at the time were experimenting with some new SAMBA shares and setting-up the CAM driver. There is likely no correlation but I thought I'd mention it. --Duane
