If I have a Linux partition mounted during a reboot, I ALWAYS get a
message on the console similar to:

syncing disks... 7 7 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 giving up

and the Fbsd filesystem is not marked clean and will go through a full
fsck after the boot.

If I umount the linux partition before a reboot everything is ok.

What data is needed to solve this particular problem?

Thanks,
Dick van den Burg
