The fs is mounted w/ soft-updates. I issued a sync command, but still no change. The files were no longer shown in ls, but space was not freed. So i decided to reboot, to make sure that the deleted files are not still opened by some process. The shutdown went normal, but at the end it said: sysncing disks.. 3321 3321 3321 3316 ..... I dont't know the exact numbers anymore, but it printed some 40x80 lines of 4 digit numbers, the last line was all 1s and then said: giving up on 1 buffers. When rebooting, all fs were unclean and i had to wait the usual 20 minutes for fsck to complete. What has been going on here? I use 4.6.2-RELEASE Heinrich -- Heinrich Rebehn University of Bremen Physics / Electrical and Electronics Engineering - Department of Telecommunications - E-mail: mailto:rebehn@ant.uni-bremen.de Phone : +49/421/218-4664 Fax : -3341 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
