Hi!,

 Could some one kindly explain the meaning of the numbers that appear after
syncing disks .. during shutdown ?  (just being curious and couldn't find it
myself) 

  E.g. in my machine when I shutdown I get :

     syncing disks 3 3 1
   sometimes 6 6 3 or just 3 3   

What do these numbers tell ?

Sorry for my ignorance if this is something very basic.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ajith.
