When shutting down the system I often (but not always) have problems syncing the disks and shutting down cleanly. I get a synching disks 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 .... and then next time I start the system I have to fsck. Without an MFS mounted /tmp I have not seen the problem. I have seen this on 2.1.0, 2.1.5 and now on 2.2-960801. Anybody got any ideas? I sure would like to use mfs but fsck is such a pain.
