This (or similar) happens to me when I `mount -u` a filesystem that's had a fair amount of activity. For instance, the partition with my local CVS mirror is mounted r/o, so my cvsup script remounts it r/w. At the end, it remounts r/o, but that'll cause the errors (after which I unmount and fsck, and it blows away a number of files), so my script does a bunch of sync;sleep;sync;sleep stuff to try and avoid it (it still managed to happen from time to time). e.g: Mar 13 05:40:22 draco kernel: /bsd: update error: blocks 39992 files 250 (Of course, that only affects the partitions I *CAN* mount -u; I haven't upgraded since January to see if the problem with fs's that WOULDN'T -u went away.) -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
